My Project

My students are gaining love for reading, and my room truly needs a comfortable space where they can relax and get lost in a good book. I'm hoping to create a cozy reading nook with comfy chairs that invite students to curl up and read during independent reading time.

I want our classroom to be a safe, inviting place where they can develop a love of reading.

Right now, our reading area is in need of a transformation into a warm and welcoming spot that students are excited to visit each day. The chairs I'm requesting will provide much-needed comfort and support, helping students stay focused and engaged as they read. My fifth graders need to diving into novels and get lost in nonfiction books. All of my students deserve a space that supports their learning and sparks their imagination.

Thank you for helping us build a classroom where every child feels inspired to read!
