They also had many questions about where the items come from and how they would be used. They also started throwing out ideas of what else I could use the materials for that I hadn't even thought of.

The saucer chairs, soft lighting, calming sounds, and cozy touches have completely transformed our room into a space that feels safe and inviting.\r\n\r\nI've already noticed students choosing the new seating for independent reading, collaborating quietly in groups, and even commenting on how \"peaceful\" the room feels.
