Reading Seating

Help me give my students a place to sit and read. so many of my students struggle with wanting to read, having something "cool" to sit in encourages them to grab a book and relax.

My Project

Many of my students are reading well below grade level and they struggle to want to read. I have created a fun and relaxing space that so far has encouraged students to want to visit the space, but I have no seating. Most of these students also have adhd, and the flexible seating would be great to allow movement while they work. My students are amazing and I would love to add some flexible seating and nice chairs to sit and relax in.

I believe this would further encourage reading, and help them burn that energy.
