This simple change has made a big impact, especially on group work. Students now move naturally between reading, writing, and group work with focus and enthusiasm. During our literacy lessons, I've noticed more collaboration, longer attention spans, and a greater sense of ownership over their learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was contagious! Students eagerly tried each new seat and are still rushing to be the first in their seat of choice in the classroom. That joy and curiosity have continued every day since. The flexible seating has become part of how we create, discuss, and learn together.\r\n\r\nAs we move into new projects, students will continue using these spaces to write, design, and collaborate, building not only academic skills but also confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and helping create a classroom that supports both movement and mindful learning.

Students are not only practicing comprehension and vocabulary skills—they're also learning how to think critically, empathize deeply, and discuss big ideas with one another. Books like Eyes That Kiss in the Corners and Front Desk have opened the door to conversations about identity, inclusion, and kindness. One student who once struggled to engage with reading now races to our library each morning to grab the next book in a series—and proudly reads aloud to her friends. Another student shared, \"This book has people like me in it!\" with a huge smile.
