Books and Seats

Help me give my students engaging nonfiction books like National Geographic Kids, to spark curiosity and a love of learning. Additionally, I’d love some flexible seating options to create a cozy, space where every student can feel comfortable.

My Project

My goal is to build a classroom environment where students are excited to read, eager to learn, and comfortable enough to thrive. With engaging nonfiction texts like National Geographic Kids and the Who Would Win? series, my students will build critical reading skills, expand their vocabulary, and gain knowledge about animals, science, and the world around them. These high-interest books are perfect for reluctant readers and will help foster a lifelong love of learning.

Flexible seating will give students choices in how and where they learn best, whether it’s a cozy corner with a book or a space to collaborate with classmates.

A more dynamic and student-centered classroom helps improve focus, motivation, and academic engagement.

With your support, we can create a space where curiosity is encouraged, learning is joyful, and every student feels empowered to succeed.
