My Project

In my classroom, on Fridays, we read. Students will be allowed, using a lottery system to sit in the bean bag chairs as they enjoy reading.

All students are required to read a book of their choice on Fridays.

There is always a short assignment attached to the reading re-inforcing what we have learned that week, or on a short skill that is important to their overall learning development.

Sitting comfortably with new bean bag chairs and feeling as if they are special, will further enhance the students' love of reading; as an English teacher, that is my ultimate goal.
