My Project

Imagine if you had to sit in a hard desk chair all day long. It would get very boring and uncomfortable. That is exactly what we expect children to do all day in school. Well, I would love to be able to supply a space for my students to read a book in comfort.

What better way to motivate children to stay focused and complete their work than to reward them with a comfortable spot to curl up and get lost in a book!

My students love when they finish their work early and they can go to the listening center or get out of their seat and go read a book. The only problem is I have very limited flexible seating.

Having additional flexible seating in the classroom would allow more students to experience the joy of getting out a book and reading it in the big comfy chairs!
