My Project

My goal is to create a warm and inviting environment for my students to explore the world through books. My second goal is to create this area to be conducive to productive class meetings, Social Emotional Learning, and group/partner projects. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will help me glean from other educators ideas and resources for SEL lessons and novel studies.

I’m an avid reader myself, therefore a strong advocate for reading, so I want to create an area that invites curiosity and fosters imagination.

I love the idea of the plastic book bins for each student to store books, bookmarks, and sticky notes (to take notes and mark pages with information they want to refer back to). The pillows are so adorable and seem to say, "Come with me. Adventure awaits!" The rug mimics soft grass just right for my whimsical classroom.
