Creating a reading area in my room will create a safe space for the kids to go to read. The desk can sometimes be uncomfortable and children do like to move around. Although my group of kids are at the age of following rules fairly well, they are still children. They aren't able to be still for too long. I want them to have a cool space to relax and enjoy a good novel.
Students will be able to utilize this space whether it's for assigned reading, studying, or reading for fun. The novels I selected are enriching and will allow them to think and exercise their brains. We are working hard throughout my school to get every child on reading level, as it serves as a top focus for us this year! The bean bags will provide comfort, and add a cool accent to the class. Creating a reading area allows the students to have a flexible space they are in control of. They will be able to choose their seating arrangement, and choose their own book to read. Children are often more responsive when they are included in what they learn, and how they learn. This project will help them to do so.
