Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students will enjoy sitting on bean bags their size to read daily with their peers and enjoy different genres, such as fiction nonfiction, fantasy, fairytales, and realistic fiction. This will allow my students to have an opportunity to not sit in the regular chairs, but have a comfortable space for learning throughout the day.

What an awesome way for my scholars to enjoy reading by being comfortable while reading their favorite book!

With your help students, not only this year, but in future years to come will be able to enjoy a reading space which will enhance their love for reading.
