My Project

When I do reading groups or independent reading in the classroom, I let students move around and find a comfortable spot. I had some old floor pillows, and the students loved to prop them up and make a comfortable reading space. My pillows are worn out and I’d love to replace with some flexible seating options. I’d love students to be able to use pillows and floor seats in my reading nook and for my wiggly students to use be able to sit on wiggle stools around my reading table.
