I continually strive to create a fun and engaging environment for my students to learn. These beanbag chairs welcome students into the library and into reading. Because they are modular, students can move them around to create their own self space for independent reading, or to create a small group discussion area for projects. These beanbag chairs encourage students to drop in, cuddle up and read in the school library. They will also support those students with special needs during library classroom time. I anticipate that all students will view this seating as a special treat and they will be used every period, every day of the school week.
