Mrs. Poulos's classroom raised $527

Literacy flexible seating

Help me give my students a place to sit on the floor to enjoy reading. My hope is for students to enjoy reading by sitting on the rug.

Matthews, NC Grades 6-8

My Project

I want to appeal to my students. I want them to feel comfortable while in my classroom. Literacy is very important during middle school and I need to show that I care about their success. Unfortunately not all of my students will enjoy reading. I believe that offering flexible seating might appeal to them and show them reading can be fun as well as comfortable.

They just need to see we care about them by offering another place to sit during class time.

I care about them and will do anything to show them how much their success means to me.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
