My Project

My students love books and love to be cozy.

They are avid readers and have built strong reading partnerships in their love for reading.

This carpet will make our library area cozy and inviting. Our current classroom rug is old and dingy. With a newer and brighter rug, my students will have a place to get comfortable and enjoy our daily meetings, read-alouds, and sharing books with their friends. This rug will help brighten up our classroom, making it a more pleasant place to be. The books will help continue to excite students in their learning. The write/wipe table will allow us to make writing connections to our reading and the Teacher Pay Teachers gift cards will create connections to literacy and across the curriculum through art and writing.
