Please help us create a warm and cozy Reading Corner in our classroom! I teach First grade in a high need community.

My students do not have the luxury of having comfortable areas to read. Typically the students either sit in desks or on the cold floor. My students love to read and I would like to give them a special area dedicated to reading.

We need one comfy couch, one bean bag, and one rug to create a great Reading Corner. This project will give all of my students more opportunities to read each day and it will teach my students that Reading can be fun and relaxing.

Your help will make it possible for these students to have a stress free place to relax and enjoy reading.
