Cozy Library

Help me give my students a relaxing spot in the library area to read and enjoy books, I want to make our library area appealing and cozy—a place everyone wants to go!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Feltey's classroom raised $222

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

Introducing my students to the new and improved library area with a cozy tent will be amazing!

The teepee will be utilized as a reading nook and a place for students to regulate their emotions while reading or just sitting and enjoying the teepee!

I will be able to laminate emotion cards with the laminating sheets and make different props for the students to use when retelling their favorite stories. The books I requested are some of the students' favorites and part of our curriculum, so they will be displayed in the library.
