Cozying Up With a Good Book!

Help me give my students bean bag chairs to sit in while they quietly read.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Irish's classroom raised $220

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to move around the classroom while they are reading. By having bean bag chairs, students can cuddle up in a bean bag chair and really get lost in a good book. We use the bean bag chairs as rewards in our classroom. Students who have passed an iReady lesson can be put in a drawing for a bean bag chair, as well as students who have passed a Reading Counts test on a book they have read. My students love the bean bag chairs and will complete any assignment to be able to sit in one.
