Enabling students the opportunity for flexible sitting during Readers and Writers Workshop can allow for students to move out of their single desks and be drawn to comfortably enjoy our shared reading and mini-lessons. Most of my students come from low-income families who are continuously faced with economic obstacles that hinder students' ability to learn in the classroom. I want my students to have access to a learning space that drives them to want to learn. Why should our next generation of professionals be limited to table arm desks while we aspire for them to become innovative thinkers? This summer, I received the opportunity to travel to NYC to attend the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project to serve students in Los Angeles who are often times victims of having limited access to educational tools and resources "available." In order to make it possible for my students to have full access to Lucy Calkins' research-proven units of study, I am taking the first step into looking to enable my students the opportunity to move away from their outdated single-arm desks to come together and participate in mini-lessons that will prepare them to become better readers, writers, and thinkers! Having bean bags in the classroom for students to enjoy while reading and writing will not only give students access to flexible sitting, but they will also have the opportunity for self-discovery in literacy as they learn that learning and reading CAN be fun.
