Having a full set for my classroom has made a huge difference. The tables and chairs are lightweight, which gives students more independence in caring for their space. They can move both things around the classroom with ease and help clean up their spaces more easily. The tables and chairs also add to an inviting atmosphere due to their colors. The students often move the chairs into columns over to our puppet theater during play-based learning. Watching them use their independence has helped build their confidence this year as well.
