A Reading Rug for Reading Rockstars

My students need a reading rug to cover the plywood on the floors of our class library

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Campos's classroom raised $300

My Students

When you're at home, do you read sitting straight up in a hard plastic chair? Of course you don't, you get comfortable in your favorite spot and read away. My students want to experience that same feeling. Help my students get a reading rug for a cozy reading corner in our classroom

I teach fourth graders at one of the charter schools that opened in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina.

They are African American, Vietnamese, and Hispanic, and many of them live in poverty. Our school does not have a library and many students are unable to go to the public library, so our classroom library is a very special place.

My Project

Our school is housed in a series of trailers built to be used far less than they have been. The floors are rotting, and the entire length of one wall has been covered in ugly rough plywood. I wish I could provide them a solid classroom in a permanent building, but since that may be years away for our school, I'm doing my best to create the most comfortable and welcoming learning environment for my students. A nice big rug will make a huge difference for my students. It could cover the plywood, and provide a comfortable place for us to start our day at morning meeting and enjoy a great many books during silent reading time.

Help make our classroom a place where reading is loved and reading time is special.

If we can help my students find a love of reading now, then there is no telling how far it will take them. I can only imagine their excitement when they walk into their classroom to find a place where reading is cherished and they can find comfort, despite any things they may be facing at home. My students face so many obstacles, and with this project you can help take reading off of that list.
