Cozy and Comfy Classroom Reading Nook

Help me give my students a beautiful and comfortable environment to do independent reading. Our school had few comfortable spaces and no library, so I am trying to make my classroom into an oasis.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hall's classroom raised $480

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My school does not have a library or any spaces where it is comfortable to sit and read a book. I want to make my classroom a space where kids can comfortably read and explore the world of ideas.

My students are mostly immigrants and working class kids and reading for enjoyment and to create a lifelong habit of reading, which will make them better citizens of the world.

Students who read for pleasure are more likely to do better on standardized tests and in life in general.

I have already managed to get two beanbags, but the extra seating and comfortable area - with plants that the students will take care of as part of their classroom duties - will make my reading nook area more comfortable and inclusive. My beanbags are very popular! Some students look forward to reading just because of the beanbags!
