My Project

My students' love of reading is steadily growing. Help me provide them with some fun and comfortable seating options to enjoy their books. Reading books has been a primary focus in my class. My students are enjoying their independent reading time but would like another option of places to read other than just at their desks. Bean bags and floor seats would provide them with other options while making reading comfortable and relaxing. Additional seating could also be used as incentives for those who are always doing the right thing.
