Transcript
This is our family room. I decided to choose a home theme, so we could create a family nature in the classroom. We have a sofa. We have mushroom chairs. We have bean bags. We have pillows for the boys and girls to relax in a homey atmosphere. When we come in in the morning, we will assemble in the family room. This is where I model. This is where I read stories to them. This is where we just chat, and talk about things that are going on, either in their lives, or things that are happening at school. They love it, they love the sofa, we even take tests here. Even after school when it's time to go home and theyre waiting for their rides, we come and just sit and fellowship with their neighbors.
