My Project
The classroom library is a great place to sit with a great book and develop a love of reading. I have noticed that my students are more engaged in their reading when they are able to choose flexible options for seating. Currently, the students love to sit on the carpet in our classroom and read. However, I would love to make that even more comfortable for them with bean bag chairs, lap desks and clipboards. Who among us doesn't like to be comfortable when curling up with a good book? These options will make that a reality for my students and help them to be more engaged with their learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
