My Project

Creating a calm reading area with an interactive bulletin board is the plan for this project!

I want my students to have a calm area for quiet, independent reading.

This project will allow me to have fairy lights around the bulletin board and then small mason jar lights to increase the ambiance. I also will have an interactive bulletin board with the boarder, markers, and mesh bags.

I know my students will love this area, and I know it will increase engagement in and excitement towards reading. I'm so excited to create this area!
