Creating Cozy Spaces

Reflecting on last school year, one thing I noticed is there wasn't enough "comfy" spaces in my classroom for students to sit and read/write during the Daily 5.  I'm trying to think of some easy ways to give my classroom a boost with some alternative seating.

I do have a set of colorful cushions I bought with bonus points from Scholastic.  The kids seemed to like using those, but I want to have more options.  Our "meeting" rug has space for 2-3 kids sprawled out and I have four of those ever-popular "crate seats" I made last summer.

What does everyone else do to create cozy spaces for reading and writing in their classroom?

I just ordered these chairs... as my "I really don't need this but am going to buy it for my classroom anyway" purchase for the school year. I love them already!

I'd love to get this leaf canopy from Ikea, but you can't buy online and we don't have a store nearby. :(

I've also seen a few ideas on Pinterest that I want to try....


the A-frame tent tutorial

Any other great ideas out there??
