Funded Oct 4, 2019My students were thrilled about the bean bag chairs. They couldn't contain themselves when the huge boxes arrived. I hadn't told them about the project.
I let the boxes sit in the room all morning and they made predictions about what was inside. After lunch I unveiled them! They were so excited. We drew straws to see who got to use them first.
We had an excellent silent reading time. The students who were lucky enough to be chosen first were excited for their friends to use them also, so they voluntarily let others use them half way through our time. It was very kind and sincere.
We have set up a system where they will trade off. Of course through out the rest of the day students would plop down on the chairs. Their smiles were priceless.
Thank you again for your generosity. These bean bags will be loving used for many years to come.”
With gratitude,
