Our students absolutely love sitting on the couch that we have in our library center, but it only fits two students comfortably (despite the attempts that have been made to accommodate three at a time). Adding a second couch to our library center will help our students find seating options that can allow them to read to their reading buddies and not feel so cramped. We also believe that providing the students with more seating options will help renew their excitement about coming to the library and exposing them to different types of literature. In a blended classroom, students come with varying abilities, thus meaning that they require differentiated instruction. They also benefit greatly from differentiated seating. With the use of the beanbag chair and the flex space floor seat, these students will become more involved in the classroom because they will feel less restricted in their seating.
