Mrs. Carelli from Sandy UT is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Book Sacks!

My Students

My 4th grade students are a unique group of children. They attend a public school that has been part of the community for decades. They enjoy learning most things, but specifically have developed a love of reading. They are diverse in their learning needs and they bring many different skill levels to the classroom. I would like for them to have an individual place to store all of the books that they are interested in reading, and to continue to ignite the passion and interest they have for reading.

My Project

My students are avid readers. They are 4th graders and many of them have developed a love of reading this year. They are constantly looking for books they want to read. The only problem is that they lack a place to store the many books that interest them. I love that they are avid readers and are passionate and enthusiastic too. They need a place to store the many book selections they have made. The seat sacks I am asking for will give them a place to store their treasured selections, and increase the availability when they are ready to read.
