My Project

I have the most amazing group of third graders who love to read. Everyday after lunch our school participates in D.E.A.R (drop everything and read). My students absolutely love it, I would love to give my students a wider range of books to enjoy. I have some low readers who would like to read the popular books but just can't quit yet. That is where the graphic novels come in, students who are low in reading build their skills with graphic novels. The flex seating Stackable Stool Set, Wobble Cushions and Leaf Floor Seat options give my students to opportunity to move, wiggle, and sit where they are comfortable to help them engage, listen and learn.
