My Students

This year I have the pleasure of working with first grade. This is the year that they really become readers. We are doing a lot of phonics, fluency and comprehension work.

We need a comfy reading area in our classroom.

I want my students to grab a book and relax on a new rug, a bean bag or a comfy chair. Our old rug was old and worn. Last year a student got sick and vomited on it, so we threw it out.

My Project

This rug will give my students a clean, comfortable place to read. We have a nice library with lots of new book bins and new books, but no rug. After the reading mini-lesson, I would love to allow some kids to read on the rug. They can get to know their characters, visualize the setting, describe the problem and make predictions. A nice reading area will give them a space to read with a buddy and discuss the books that they are reading. When selecting new books, kids like to spread their books out before deciding which books to choose and they would have the space to do that.
