"Welcome to a wonderful classroom filled with eager learners! I teach reading, writing, math, language arts, science and social studies to 2nd grade students. Our Elementary school, is a Title 1 school located in a rural area.

My students are at an age where they love to read! They have become independent readers and like to explore many books.

With the excitement of a good book, students are always looking for that perfect spot to read! I have requested three bean bag chairs. With this project being funded, students will have an opportunity for a comfy reading spot in the classroom!

Your help will make it possible to give our classroom that added touch of comfort! Your willingness to donate to our class project will bring bright smiles to the faces of all the students :)

My students need 3 bean bags to have a place to sit and read a good book.

Ms. M. sent this note after the project was fully funded:

Dear Terry, Jane, Mom, P., Frances, Katie, Susan and Christine, 

Thank you so much for your generous donations! I know times are tough, and that makes your donations that much more meaningful. This project is something that I have always wanted to provide for students in my classroom...and you have made that possible.

There is nothing better, than getting comfortable to read a good book. The students in my classroom will now have new comfy spots to sit and to enjoy reading a good book!!

Thank YOU for giving each of them an opportunity to enjoy a comfy spot to read :)

With gratitude,
Ms. M.

Photos coming soon!
