My students love it. Even though it's a small area of my room, during break time you'll be able to see as many as 10 of the students lounging on the carpet and cushions together, getting to know one another better. In a recent conversation, one of my students was sharing her haunting experience of being kidnapped. This space is doing more than I expected it would. \r\n\r\nIt has created an opportunity for students to do their individual work in a relaxing, stress-free environment, which is what I had hoped for.
