Help ELs Fall in Love with Reading!

Help me give my students flexible seating in our classroom library to help them enjoy reading books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Emerson's classroom raised $869

This project is fully funded

My Project

During COVID-19, everything was shut down including libraries. Kids are tuned into digital books and it is about time for students to learn the beauty of reading paper books. Especially for younger ones, it is very important to touch and feel the books. With these flexible seats, students will feel comfortable and at home and be able to find the books while seated at the floor table because books are within their arms' reach. I have students from variety of cultural backgrounds. Many of them are from Asia, so sitting on the floor is more comfortable for them and makes them feel more at home.

So please help my class with flexible seats to regain the love of reading.
