We need some simple, low to the ground chairs, for our reading area. I love to use this as a reward for students who have finished their work and have extra time. They will be allowed to sit and read in a special chair! They love stuff like this! It is super motivating. We also need a new doorstop that actually works! Our doorstop slides all the time and is very difficult for my students or me to manage. Another teacher at our school has the ice cream cone doorstop and it works great and is easy for her students to use. Students love helping anyway they can in the classroom.
