Rockin' and Reading Our Way to Learning

Help me give my students flexible seating with comfy, adjustable, reclining rocker chairs!

My Project

Students spend hours sitting in the classroom, and the quality of their chairs can deeply affect their learning. This makes it very challenging for a distracted, fidgety student who is uncomfortable in his seat to produce quality work.

Having a comfy place to "Rock & Read" would help improve my students' attention span and build their reading stamina.

I am currently preparing my second graders for third grade state tests in which they need to read for long periods of time. During carpet and independent reading time, my students are often uncomfortable and struggle to sit still. Having two adjustable, reclining, rocking chairs would improve my classroom in the following ways:

Maintain focus during reading, create a comfortable reading environment, recall important information, improve reading comprehension and reading stamina, reward students with time in the "rock & read" chair, provide a "choice" of where to sit to read, and lastly match my beach/ocean classroom theme!

My students deserve a space that they can call their second home. I want my students to feel comfortable in the classroom. I am certain that your contribution would have a strong impact on developing good reading habits so that my students can become successful, lifelong readers.
