My Project

This project is created so students can not just learn at their seats, but learn in a group/class setting as well. Having a "circle time" carpet is pivotal, because it will serve as the main meeting area for the whole class, and where the class will feel as one, instead of always at their individual seats. The carpet will also serve as meeting areas for things such as morning meeting, learning new material, and reading new stories will occur. The seat sacks will teach students organization, and will lessen time it takes for me as the teacher to pass out materials, so that there is more time for instruction. The leaves seats will serve as comfy seats for our classroom library!
