Classroom Comfort

Help me give my students a standing desk and comfy chairs for reading!

My Project

I work with reluctant readers who will benefit from a comfortable reading area as well as having a standing desk to complete online lessons! This will provide an inviting environment for shared reading, independent reading, and online reading lessons.

I will use these items to create a more inviting and comfortable reading/work space for my reluctant readers.

My students are resilient and work hard. They recently took their second reading growth assessment, and they averaged one or more grade levels' worth of growth! I want to reward them with brand-new furniture!
