 Students love quiet, cozy spots to sit while they're reading or doing other activities. I've created several spots inside my classroom where students can go and have a quiet time, have a safe spot, or just simply a reading spot. This is one of them. This is called the lighthouse in my room and it's just simply a round chair inside of some curtains with a few little comfy pillows. Here's another spot that I've created. Underneath this blanket is simply three benches. I put a soft blanket on top, some pillows for students to lean against, and under a great umbrella that they can read and enjoy a quiet time right over here. While this is my class library, when we're not using it as a library, I like to use it as a quiet reading spot, just another area that you can have some comfy pillows, quiet area for students to do their independent reading in. This is another spot that I've just got some very inexpensive lawn chairs to put them up in an area that we normally use some math in, but these are so easy to move that sometimes I have it as a reading nook and other times we use it as a math area. Now this is a really tight spot in here, but it's one of the students' favorite places to sit. I just have a couple of bead bags and students crawl in there with their book box and they start reading away. Now I have purchased a few pieces of furniture that are children's sizes, but most children just enjoy laying on the ground with a comfy pillow. Creating little nooks and crannies in your classroom is not hard. Visit garage sales, find clearance racks. My students love to take a blanket with them along with a pillow and lay on the ground. Very simple, usually inexpensive. One of my students' most favorite places to sit is right here in my teacher chair. So make that an option. Allow them to sit in a teacher's chair for a reward or even for a daily reading time. Try these ideas in your classroom today.
