To broaden my students taste buds, I set a class goal with a minimal of genre reads. My students are expected to independently read 40 books each! I set the expectations high for my students as I confer with each one about their reading and goals they have set for themselves. During their independent reading time, students get lost in their books as they discover themselves as readers. In this station they find a good nook in their class which is where the wobble chairs come in handy. They have been provided with desk, pillows, carpet squares, etc. They have free range as to where they sit. Just with a turn of a page, my students travel all over the world and meet all kinds of people. How can that not change a student!
