My Project

Art classes at my school are an hour long, often there are a few students that finish early, they are offered a bonus sheet which is often a coloring sheet or a word search. After that there is much else for them to do until the rest of the class catches up. A reading corner would give a dedicated space to those early finishers. They can use their time a little bit more productively and it will help to prevent any unnecessary sanding around the classroom, distracting other students.

Help supply my classroom with reading and educational materials as well as a shelf to help organize those materials.

My school really puts a focus on reading and this would help to keep books away from any art materials that may damage them, as well as a separated space for the readers to wind down.
