Much like adults, it’s difficult for students to sit at desks all day. Over the past few years I have worked on creating an enjoyable reading space for my students. I have always felt that sitting in rows of desks does not foster a love of reading-it becomes a chore, as opposed to an enjoyable activity. As teachers, we need to promote and teach this in our classrooms to truly prepare students for the ever changing future. I am asking for an easel, a floor chairs, and ottoman chairs. There are many benefits to flexible seating, such as: the ability to be easily moved around by students to form individual, paired, or group reading; the seating cradles the body, so it is both comfortable for children and promotes calmness. The addition of the easel will allow me to teach mini-lessons in a space where students feel engaged and supported.
