Great Books and Relaxed Settings for Windows to the World
Help me give my students beanbag seats for a reading environment that allows them to explore and discover in comfort.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Torres's classroom raised $652
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students love to read freely and can always be found with a book. For most, reading isn’t an assignment, it’s an opportunity for exploration and an outlet for discovery.
I am requesting four beanbag seats for our reading area.
With your help, I’d love to provide my students with a reading environment that allows them to explore and discover in comfort. Imagine yourself with a great book in a comfortable and relaxed setting!
How quickly pages turn when students are 100 percent engaged in the text. Help me bring that vision to reality for my students. Help me bring flex seating to our classroom learning environment for my current and future students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
