My students will have the opportunity to move around the classroom for their independent reading time. Sitting at desks can be difficult for some. Most of the classroom has a tile floor. It is really cold on the floor. Our desks are very old and just not conducive for reading at length. The flexible seating will also help students with special needs. Some students need to move around quite a bit. They find sitting in one spot a difficult task. I think having a comfortable place to go will benefit all of them. Reading in a cozy spot is what it is all about. The pillows will allow students to sit anywhere. I love the bench because they can share and store reading materials. Great opportunities exist for amazing conversations about text. The couch would give us additional comfortable space for reading. A few students can use this at the same time. Thank you!
