Mrs. Dungy’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/6630423 Customize URL

This year we will continue to implement Balanced Literacy in our classroom. Two of its components are Shared and Independent Reading. My classroom does not have any carpeted areas, and I would love to be able to set up a carpeted, comfortable, flexible seating area where my students can lay down and read their books. I often discuss with my students how books have the power to make you feel like you're traveling wherever these stories take place, and I want them to experience this love for reading. A carpeted reading area will also allow me to gather all my students during a shared/read aloud lesson where students can get comfortable and enjoy listening to exciting and adventurous stories. Having an enjoyable reading area will help me guide great readers into future leaders!
