Cozy Library

Help me give my students a cozy library that will encourage reading and foster a love for reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Garcia's classroom raised $519

This project is fully funded

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

These materials will be used in my class to create a cozy library where students feel comfortable reading and explore different types of books. Fostering a love for reading is easier when students feel comfortable reading in a nice area.

I hope these pillows and bookshelves will create a cozy reading corner in my class so students are excited to spend time there and explore reading in a way they are excited about.

Adding more books will also encourage more students to find a love for reading. I hope this library can help foster a love for reading.
