Help me give my students a fresh look to our classroom library with additional flexible seating options. As young learners, it's important that we promote literacy not just in the reading aspect, but in the spaces we create.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Our current reading library is composed of two very old bookshelves I donated from home when I first started teaching in 2021. Normal wear and tear have caused our shelves to wobble and become extremely tight with all the books we have. Our shelves sit at floor level, so our books on the bottom get dusty and dirty very quickly.
With these materials, my students will be able to extend the life of our library books and use seat cushions during their independent reading time.
With the cushions, ALL of my students will have access to one so that no one feels left out or disappointed because they didn't get one since I only have a limited amount.
My current students are EXTREMELY responsible with the library we currently have, and they deserve the surprise of updated furniture to help them love it even more. This group of students I have are in love with reading, organizing books, and simply read in the library nook where we have a lamp, comfy seats, and pillows.
With that said, I hope that you can join this project because we know that beautiful, meaningful spaces facilitate learning. Additional materials that you see in this project are replenishments for materials we need in our classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
