My Project

Our classroom has had a library update.

We are in need of 2 bean bag chairs for our library.

We had 2 but their time has come. I would love to replace the bean bags. Students enjoy silent reading on the rug with their books. Often it is a race to see who gets the bean bag. I notice that their reading endurance is longer when students have a cozy place to read. Bean bags seem to be enjoyed by all. The students keep asking if we can get new bean bags.
