My goal as an educator is to empower my students to take control of their learning and make good choices about their education. Flexible seating allows students make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. They are also more inclined to gravitate toward other students who can help them to be more successful. I believe that a diverse library gives my students multiple entry points to become strong and enthusiastic readers and writers. The majority of my students are English Language Learners and often times the only English speakers in their households. In order to further their ability to speak, read, and write proficiently in English they must have exposure to a text rich environment. With these new books and magazine subscriptions, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.
