My Project

My students have shown a great interest in the highly entertaining Dog Man and Cat Kid books by Dav Pilky. I have been checking them out from the local library because I do not have any yet, and I would love to be able to add them to my own classroom library! When kids have books that interest them, they are that much more likely to want to read (or to *learn* to read). The best way to increase reading ability is to read, read and read some more. These books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading! :)

Additionally, flexible seating choices like these soft and cozy floor pillows will allow students to choose a location in the classroom that works for them during reading time and beyond.

Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: our classroom couch, different tables throughout the room, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They are happier, more engaged, and are more productive than when they are just sitting at their desk. Automnomy is key and I love showing my students that their needs are importsnt, they are seen and that they are cared for.
