To Be The Best Reader!
Funded Aug 14, 2018
We love our new furniture for our classroom library! We love to sit and read in the library space!
It is clear that the class loves to partner read. Since we received our furniture, the students have been sharing books with each other! During reading workshop, it was inspiring to see two students so well focused reading their books while sitting down in those comfy green flexible seats and the other three students on the blue sofa sharing a book!
My students are very proud of their new furniture. Before they had the sofa and the chairs, they just had some pillows in the library and it was not very inviting. They were very excited and curious about the new furniture in the classroom. Seeing the furniture for the first time, they all agreed that they need to take care and be responsible of the library space and that it was very thoughtful and generous of the community to support our classroom.
This is going to be a great year for us in Kindergarten with our new space. We will be able to build our stamina in reading during our reading workshop time and that is all thanks to our comfortable and inviting environment in our classroom. Thanks so much!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Rowland

My students are 5 and 6 years old and they are always on the move! They are so eager to learn. With better seating the library section of my classroom this will allow my student's to gain stamina in reading. The modern blue sofa is a great edition to the classroom library as it is sofa and large enough for multiple students to stay and read together. They will want to stay in the library longer! If the students do not want to sit on the sofa, then the Green flex seating floor chairs will offer the students another style of comfort while reading. The students love to read and they love to read together! Partner reading is what I want to see more of in my classroom. Partner reading has been highly researched as an effective reading technique to build fluency and learn decoding strategies for early readers.By having a comfortable setting in my library, this will foster a safe and warm environment for all of my amazing readers! The library is used every day with my students, multiple times of the day and the new seats such as the sofa blue sofa and the green flex chairs will offer my students a more inviting classroom to where they will feel more focused to learn and read with others.
