Let's Get Flexible in Reading!

Help me give my students flexible seating options when they come to work with me in small groups for reading intervention.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Watt's classroom raised $681

My Project

Giving my students a variety of seating options allows them to choose what is best suited for them and their learning. Reading can be very difficult and I want my students to be comfortable while learning. I also want to foster a love for reading and the world of opportunities it can open for my students.

I have noticed that when my students are given a choice, they are more engaged and motivated to learn.

It allows them to have a little more independence and a say in their learning.
