The couch and reading pillows will be a great addition to our reading area. This past year I used some beach chairs, but they didn’t last the year. The couch would make a cozy place for my kids, while the pillows would allow flexibility around the room. It’s been so great to see how much more enthusiastic my students are during reading. Last summer, I purchased book bins for each of my students, and allowed them to fill up their bins with their own selections. They were able to take their bins anywhere ‘cozy’ that they wanted to, on the carpet, under tables, in corners of the class-these would really help in our room!
