My students have been switching roles where some are customers and they are creating bouquets to hand out to classmates, using pretend money, learning how to communicate and problem solve. Other students are the workers and creating what customers request. It is so fun to watch. In April we will have an animal hospital.

They noticed that they are the perfect size and match up to create a cozy spot at their desk, and believe it or not they stay working longer because they are comfortable! \r\n\r\nWe greatly appreciate your support to make our classroom a comfortable and calm space.
