One of my main goals as an English teacher is to expose my students to different types of literature through reading and writing. A lot of them have not been read to growing up or even given the opportunity to have access to a variety of reading materials at home. Many of them come from homes that can be chaotic at times, so they do not always have their own space to be able to just sit and read. I feel my students deserve a space in the classroom with comfortable seating where they can take a break from the world around them, feel safe, and grow their brains through reading and writing. My plan is to invite the students to use the space during class as well as during breaks throughout the day. As an educator, I know how important literacy is and I would love for my students to see the importance as well.
