My Project

The saucer chairs will be a great addition to my classroom. I have removed desks from my classroom and have a variety of seating options; chairs, armchairs, sling back chairs, floor pillows and bean bags. These saucer chairs will be the talk of the students and I'm sure they will be running in to be the first to grab one!

Reading authentic French books in comfort is part of my weekly lesson.

Students get to choose a reader of their choice and level and find a comfortable place in the room to read for 10 minutes each week. My cardboard bookshelves are overflowing and I've been looking for more shelving. Voila! These magnetic shelves are perfect...I hope! I'd like to give them a try and see how well they hold the books.
