You may sit ALMOST anywhere you want -- including sitting on the floor,
   however, the teacher reserves the right to place you in a seat of his choosing 
   if you are not on task -- reading! 
You may read your choice of materials. 

Enjoy treats, but be careful not to make a mess, and do clean up after yourself.
