Sometimes a hot meal and a good night's sleep are not accessible for everyone. I have a group of students who come before me every day with multiple obstacles that should hinder their learning. But it does not. Just like I give my students 100% every day, they do the same in return. We end our school day with DEAR time. The children love this time to sit quietly and read. Either they read independently or we read as a group. Lately, I have been finding that they want an alternative place to sit beside their desk. They tell me that after the long day, the desk is not comfortable. The students do not always have a comfortable place in their home to sit and read enjoyably. I would love to give them the opportunity to just be comfortable and be a child who loves to read. With flexible seating, I can create a safe, special place for them to focus on their learning before going home. I have a perfect place in my classroom to place the rug with the soft seats and pillows. The children can also use this space for meditation​ or quiet time. I sometime have children come up to the classroom during lunch to put their head down and take a rest. This space would then also have a dual purpose. I know the children will love it.
