Flexible and Emotional Safe Seating

Help me give my students areas and new books in the classroom where they can have a time that offers an area that they can calm down, feel save and comfortable and feel the same things with books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Motley's classroom raised $791

My Students

My students are a diverse group of title one students that have been affected both academically and emotionally by situations they can not control. School is their safe haven and I want them to feel loved and hit the door ready>

My Project

I want to share my love of reading with all my students and create spacing for them to not be sitting behind a desk all day.

I want them to feel free to roam to an area that best suits their learning styles and needs to create readers.

My goal is that when students walk in the door, they are ready to learn and feel they have some freedom in their education, if they need structure I will fill those needs and areas for laying, relaxing, and learning to enjoy reading.
