One student said, \"It feels like a library and a living room!\" They immediately grabbed their favorite books and settled in. We've already used the space during our independent reading block and small-group instruction, and it's made a noticeable difference in focus and engagement. Students who previously struggled to stay on task are now eager to read and share what they've learned.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we're launching a \"Book Talk\" project where students will read a book of their choice and present it to the class from our reading corner.
