My Project

The Big Joe Imperial Futon, a dozen complimentary pillows, and beautiful cloud light covers are exactly what our classroom needs. These colorful, comfortable pieces will help create a calm, successful learning environment.

Students should be proud of their classroom and these fun and functional items will definitely help promote that goal!

When students take pride in their classroom they are more inclined to develop a sense of ownership and want to take care of it. That, in essence, builds classroom community. Students are eager to be assigned a job to keep their learning environment clean and organized. That is an important life skill.

Elementary students spend the majority of their time in one classroom. Having a cool blue/green color theme and comfortable options will make their hours in the classroom more enjoyable.
