My Students

My students from Cleveland, Ohio are very excited about reading in 2nd grade. They love to use our classroom library and read books throughout the day. They enjoy sitting on bean bag chairs or the "special seats" as we like to call them in our classroom.

My students love to sit on the bean bag chairs around the room and become engrossed in a book.

Some of my students have even started their own "book club" and read books together during indoor recess time.

We also use the bean bag chairs in the room as a way for students who need an emotional break from the school day to go and relax by themselves until they feel they are ready to join the group again. The comfort of the bean bag chair helps them to calm themselves and regroup so they can get back to learning.

More than 3/4 of my students are on the free and reduced lunch program at school. They live in an economically disadvantaged area of Cleveland. I would like to provide these bean bag chairs to my students so they can see their classroom as a warm and welcoming environment where they feel safe.

My Project

During our reading center time, students can use the bean bag chairs to sit and read a book. There are 6 children in each center so I would need six chairs.

Even my reluctant readers love to lounge in the bean bag chairs and read their books.

My students love to sit in these "special seats" and read. This really gets them motivated to read.

We also use the chairs for students who need to take a break. Sometimes students having difficulty dealing with their emotions and having a place for them to go and relax and take a deep breath to clear their mind helps them to refocus and get back to learning.
