My students are learning to love books. They love to be read to, they love to read independently, and they love to read with a partner. However, while the rug makes the floor more comfortable, it is still not the most cozy and inviting reading space. I want to have spaces in my classroom that call out to my students "Come, come here and snuggle up with a good book." I believe that having beanbag chairs will create just that type of space. Research indicates that the more a child reads, the better reader they become. It is hard to lose yourself in reading when you are uncomfortable, but with these new cozy spaces it will be hard to tear my students away from their books. That is a challenge that I am more than willing to tackle! My students are a wonderful group of children who are beginning to love literature. I want to provide them with as much exposure as possible. This is my classroom and these are my students. I just want to do everything that I can to make sure they succeed.
