These materials will make a difference in huge ways for my students. Many of my students have seen trauma in their home life and come to school to find a safe and welcoming environment. Many of them are learning how they learn best, in addition to the several other things that are thrown their way. I believe that it is important that my students learn that reading is not just a subject in school, but I want to instill a love and passion for reading to help them grow. By providing flexible seating options, I think student will be able to learn that reading is something they can do for entertainment! That while reading, they can be taken to a new place in their mind that they haven't been before. The Flex-Space comfy floor seats will provide students a comfortable place to sit that is not at their desks or laying on the floor. This will play a factor in students learning that reading is something that can be fun and different if they make it fun and different! In addition, I teach my students that reading something once is simply not enough. We are constantly going back to texts and rereading several times, each time with a new purpose and goal. When we go back to reread, we are targeting areas of the text. As we do this, we often use highlighters and post it notes to annotate texts and help us understand texts more thoroughly. By providing the Sharpie Tank Highlighters and Post-It Notes, you are helping my students succeed in learning that making meaning of a text doesn't happen without some work!
