My Project

In my classroom, you might find a student reading at any given time of the day. I work hard to ensure each of my students find a love for reading, even if it's hard. I have a variety of books at different levels for students to choose and encourage reading when students have extra time in the day.

I want my reading corner to be comfortable and inviting for students and the items in this list will help me acheive my goal.

From the soft-colorful rug to new covers for our bean bag chairs, I know my second graders will be drawn to their new reading space!

Thank you for supporting my classroom!
