My Project

I am trying to create an area where students can relax and read in comfort. To create avid readers, I am hoping that these bean bags will add to the comfort and duration of students' reading. While my students do have access to many different books we only have standard classroom chairs which is not the way I or most avid readers enjoy their books or reading. When possible we read outside and the more comfortable an area the more likely my students are to continue reading. The goal is to replace the desks and chairs in the corner and create a reading corner.
