My Project

We’re excited to transform a corner of our classroom into a cozy reading space with flexible seating and essential supplies, and we need your help! Our goal is to provide comfortable seating options, such as floor cushions, along with helpful reading materials and inviting decor. This will create a relaxing environment where all students can dive into their reading with enthusiasm and comfort.

This project is especially beneficial for students with special needs and English Language Learners( ELLs), who may feel more comfortable and included in a welcoming space designed to meet diverse needs.

For students with special needs, the flexible seating options will allow them to find a position that suits their sensory and physical needs, enhancing their comfort and focus. A designated, comfortable reading space can also reduce anxiety and distractions, making reading a more enjoyable and accessible experience. For ELLs, a welcoming and engaging environment supports language acquisition by offering a safe space where they can comfortably explore new vocabulary and concepts at their own pace. This inclusive reading corner will help these students feel valued and supported, promoting a stronger sense of belonging and a greater love for learning. Your support will make a significant difference in fostering a positive and inclusive learning atmosphere for all our students.
