My students LOVE the new bean bag chairs! We use them in our \"Calm Corner\" this is where students that are getting overwhelmed with what is going on in the center of the class, they can take their work (thanks to the clipboards) and quietly work in the corner. They love the break from the hustle and bustle that comes from the middle of the classroom. \r\n\r\nThe clipboards were a HUGE success!!! We have little outside areas around the school that teachers are able to host their class at. It was difficult taking them out before because they wouldn't have a place to write on.
