Comfy Reading Zones

Help me give my students a place to comfortably read, speak, listen and meet collaboratively by having sofa and chair covers. Also, I will be able to take them home and wash regularly.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Hyland's classroom raised $239

My Project

Students will be able to comfortably progress by reading, writing and speaking. This area gives individual students an opportunity to learn in a comfortable setting. The setting will allow the students, who the majority of them come from low income, free and reduce lunch families, to learn to speak and thrive in a comfortable setting. All of the students are very excited for the opportunity to be able to sit in these special areas. Many of them have already been in these areas and unfortunately, I’m noticing that the sofa and chairs are already becoming very dirty and I would like the opportunity to be able to pull a cover off and clean the comfortable working areas for all children.
