I have noticed an increase in concentration and participation. \r\n\r\nIt was also a really fun experience to set everything up with my students. I had students who really found their calling with building and problem solving when building the furniture pieces. I also got to see a couple of my kids find joy in designing spaces to make them feel and look comfortable. \r\n\r\nMy students seem so much more relaxed and comfortable when coming into my classroom.
