My Project

Each time my students come to the art studio we begin our class on the floor at the front of the room. This carpet would allow my students a comfy, clean place to sit down for the start of our lesson. I think it would help combat some students' resistance to sitting on the floor, especially the older students. Each child would have their own circle to sit on which would help make sure no children were too close together. The carpet would help make the art studio an even cozier, more welcoming place.
