My Students

I have 75 reading students in the middle and high school. Most students really struggle with sitting still for very long. This is extremely hard for them to do. I give them plenty of options but these will help tremendously!

My Project

In my middle/high school classroom, I have 12 really uncomfortable seats for students to sit in. A nice place to sit back and read would be absolutely terrific. I also have students who are too big for the normal desks and it makes them feel so uncomfortable.

Right now, my students have to share a few comfy pillows and a broken futon to sit on during their daily reading time.

I would love to give them something that they could really kick back on. I feel students will read more when they are relaxed and comfy!
