My Project

Hello. I'm a fifth-grade ELA teacher. I have created a Reading Center in my classroom. I want my students to feel comfortable while reading a great book with this rug and cushions. Some of my students don’t have the support at home to encourage reading. I want reading to be something we do in my room constantly.

My focus is on reading chapters books as well as digital learning.

My test scores has shown as increase in focus on reading, and I want to support it with the rug and cushions. I know my students can do it!
