My Project

Nothing excites me more than planning engaging reading lessons and having students excited to read every day. It is my first year teaching and I would like my students to have a beautiful and colorful space to independently read and become immersed in their books.

When students are eager to read every day, it results in students growing in their reading capabilities.

This is something we need as a district. These flexible seating items, such as cushions and cute rug, will motivate students and create a safe space for them every day! Thank you for your immense support to the next generation of readers.
