My Students

My Kindergarten students are beginning readers who cannot get their little hands on enough books! What better way to encourage their reading by creating a warm, inviting reading nook with fun, flexible seating options.

Flexible seating has been linked to increased motivation and engagement.

When students are given the opportunity to choose their work environment, they are more likely to stay focused and produce their best work. Learning how to read can be a challenging task! My goal is to make my students feel as comfortable and supported as possible during this learning process.

My Project

My students need a space that is warm, inviting, and inspires them to read. Providing my class with flexible seating options in our classroom library will enhance their reading experience and increase motivation. Comfy Floor Chairs and Comfy Pillows will give my students a welcoming environment that they will be eager to use.

In my experience, students seem happier, more engaged in their work, and more relaxed when given the opportunity to choose their seating.

While some may opt for a more traditional chair, others may enjoy to recline on a softer, more comfortable cushion. It is important to provide all types of learners with an environment that meets their various learning needs. I hope to create this space for my students with flexible seating options in our classroom library.
