My Students

My students are very energetic and always want to learn. They are 7 years old and are on all different levels. My students are very eager and willing to learn. They are very energetic and love to read. I have thirty students in my classroom, and many students are having difficulties with reading comprehension and fluency. My students need additional support to help them succeed. They are great kids who truly want to become better readers and need a little extra push to get them there.

My Project

What I am requesting is comfortable bean bag chairs that students can sit on while they are reading. They are designed for students to be able to read while witting on them. My students will be comfortable in their reading setting. Having a spot in the classroom where they can go to relax and read a good book will help them to value and fall in love with reading over and over again. This chair will help my students become better readers.

These bean bags will help start the new school year off to a great beginning.

Students will be engaging with challenging texts for sustained periods and building their stamina. These cozy bean bags will help my students reach their fullest potential while reading. Thank you for taking the time to read this project. We look forward to getting this exciting new furniture.
