My Project

My students love to get comfy and read. During our independent reading time students are allowed to move around the room and relax while they read their favorite books. Allowing students to get comfy and relax while they read allows for students to enjoy reading and foster their love for books. Think about when you read, are you sitting on a hard cold floor or in a hard chair? No, the answer is no. We as adults grab a good book and get comfy and relax in our favorite chair, cushion or hammock. I want to give my students that same environment by offer these premium floor seats in the classroom.
