This comfy couch will go into our classroom library. As the students are learning to handle and look through books appropriately, they would have a nice place to sit down that isn't the floor! Every student spends part of their day in our classroom library and adding this couch to it will make it a comfy spot for years to come. While my students struggle with a lot of social and language skills, many have a real strength in exploring and looking at books. Each has their favorite. The library is an area of the classroom that some students have the potential to show their major strengths and I want it to be seen as important of an area as it is!
