My Project

This is an exciting opportunity to enhance the learning experience for my fabulous 4th grade learners who love to come together on the carpet to share their thinking, enjoy teacher read alouds, and to read their favorite books comfortably.

Our goal is to transform our learning space into a energizing and engaging environment that fosters creativity, conversation, and a love for reading and learning from each other.

To achieve this dynamic learning space, we are seeking funding for three essential elements - a large rug, comfortable floor cushions, and two of our favorite book series.

Please help us create a cozy space that prioritizes collaboration, flexibility, and a passion for reading to allow my students to continue their enthusiasm for learning and thinking.
