My Students
On a dreary day, what's better then curling up in a cozy spot with your favorite book and escaping into a new adventure. It's really difficult to find a cozy place on our carpet-covered concrete floor. My first graders would love to have a cozy place to read, during our long Iowa winters.
We are a first grade class in Iowa, with most students at or below the poverty line.
It is extremely important for our students to feel welcome and safe when they come to school. Although my students have faced many hardships and challenges in their short lives, they come ready and excited to learn new things.
My Project
By creating a comfortable place to learn, we can cultivate students who enjoy learning. This learning pod will give our first grade students the opportunity to find a soft, quiet place to read while other students are at guided reading group. Our students will also be able to grab a clipboard and transform into authors to create their own unique stories during writer's workshop.
By donating to our first grade classroom, you can help students to grow into readers that enjoy reading and choose to read, rather than being told by an adult to read.
When given a choice between a thinly, layered carpet-covered concrete floor and an soft cozy learning pod...where would you choose to sit?
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
