My fifth grade class consists of 30 desks and chairs. The students do not have any additional seating options besides the floor. I am also trying to encourage a love for reading in my students so I also need additional book storage. I already purchased many books but I am running out of space to store them on my small bookshelf. The Kidcraft reading nook would provide flexible seating and also additional storage for books/folders/binders. The bean bag chairs would allow students a comfortable option to sit closer to the board. The flexible seating options will help students feel more comfortable which will lead to more engagement.
