My Project

My students love to listen to a story. They’re excited to be invited into our reading area for a read aloud. They often gravitate to the soft rug on the floor as our reading risers aren’t very cozy. I would love to be able to utilize this space better by offering my students a floor cushion so they can spread out comfortably while they listen. I would love to see them better able to engage with the story if they’re not constantly trying to get comfortable. The bright colors of the cushions would also brighten up the space and make it more inviting!
