I have spent a good deal of time and money creating a classroom environment that supports my students' needs and desires for Reading Workshop. Too often middle school classrooms lack the bright colors and "homey" feeling of elementary classes. I want my students to have the flexibility to choose where they can read and work comfortably and productively. Currently my students choose to read at desks, tables (including a high top table brought in from home), a makeshift bench, lower crate seats created with milk crates, or even on the floor. Making sure students have that CHOICE is an essential part in motivating them. I have noticed a huge improvement in my students' work habits and reading volume when they are given a choice in their seating. The carpet and couch that I have selected will help give my students additional seating options, which will better motivate them. These areas will compliment my classroom library and mini-lesson area, where we gather as a class for lessons and where students work in partners and groups. Thank you for your consideration.
