My Project

My students this year are low level readers and getting them engaged in books has helped them show tremendous growth! They love to read around the room and get comfortable, these flexible seating options would provide cozy spaces for more students to engage in a good book!

All students have been working on their 40 Book Challenge Goal and I believe that these seating options would inspire them to stay focused during reading time to meet their goals!

They are hard workers and have come such a long way this year, I would love to reward them with something extra special!
