They use them every morning. As they enter the classroom, we have a 20 minute silent reading time and they grab a bean bag, bring it to a quiet spot, get comfy, and get lost in their books. They also use them when they are working with a partner on a project or a study session and want to get out of their seats for a while. They give the students the opportunity to be more comfortable while still getting their work done. They are such a hot commodity that we have come up with a system to make sure everyone gets a turn.\r\n\r\nI particularlly love the bean bags that were purchased because they are holding up very well and are high quality. The black color helps to hide any stains and even after 12 weeks of wear and tear, they still look new. Thank you very much for helping me purchase the bean bags to add a variety of seating options for the students that allow for more movement around the room and makes our classroom more homey.","fullyFundedDate":1754670955325,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-corner-reading-time/9516995/","projectTitle":"Cozy Corner Reading Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Boyter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10101110"},{"teacherId":5607199,"projectId":8155756,"letterContent":"I know this has been a long time coming but I cannot thank you enough for your support of our American Revolution project. These books allowed students to see that everyone can make a difference to create a better world. They could see themselves in the characters and people they were reading about.

You have helped to show that standing up for what you believe in can be difficult but not impoissible.
