My Project

I have noticed that my students work best when in a comfortable place. A lot of students prefer the floor to do their work. The materials I am getting for my students will help boost and make their reading and instructional time comfortable and motivating. The books purchased will help me provide strategies to my students during reading and writing groups.

More than half of my students sit in the meeting area during lessons and during independent reading.

My students always ask for comfy floor seating and I would love to give them the option to have flexible floor seating.
