Help me give my students books and comfy seating for our library and calm corner.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Singer's classroom raised $993

My Students
My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! When they enter into the classroom they are full of energy and excitement. It is hard for some of them to stay engaged while sitting in a hard, uncomfortable chair all day. They often get fidgety and restless.
I would like the opportunity to offer them flexible seating options that will make them more comfortable while they are learning!
A comfortable learning environment will lead to more student engagement, which means more success.
I would also love to include more books on my classroom library! My students love to read and we focus on reading on our own for about 50 minutes a day. Because my class has such a strong love for reading, I usually find myself short on engaging books to offer them. I would love to incorporate more higher level, engaging and new books.
My Project
I am requesting books and comfy seating for our library and calm corner. These are important for my students to further their academic and social emotional learning. Everything will be used in class to aid students in either field.
The large carpet and flexible seating will be in our calming corner and used to gather students when going over our SEL lessons or used for students who need a safe space to process their thoughts and emotions.
The book series and individual books will be placed in my library. Students will have more engaging and thrilling options to choose from for their independent reading.
The donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding of comprehension, as well as improve their social emotional skills when they need to regain their emotional and physical control.
By having a vast variety of books in many genres and lexile levels I will be able to supply reading material to all my diverse learners. My class, will use these books to improve our reading scores. We have built up our reading stamina and my students have began to love reading, which is so important for long-term learners. Due to all of our reading our class reading level has gone up above typical growth. Having more books to challenge my students will aid in their comprehension. The materials and seating for the calming corners will aid my students who struggle with regulating their emotions. By having an area where students feel safe and comfortable they'll be able to take the time to calm themselves down and get themselves back to learn with the class. I want to make sure I am able to support my students in all areas to be grow and people and learners. Yet I truly need your support to make this a reality. Thanks!
