Before our school had 1:1 devices for all students K-5, we relied on banks of desktop computers in various areas to meet student needs. These desktops took up a lot of space in our media center!
I asked parents to donate small tents. Eventually, a school volunteer even built me a small picnic table!
I used Scholastic dollars to purchase a variety of bean bag type seating. The "bean bag loungers" are the best!
