My Project

I see that my students would like to read if given the space and time to do it. It is my intention to create in them the love for reading. I already have chapter books in different genres.

I need bean bags for them to sit and read - something cozy to sit on and get them soak into their reading.

With the comfortable sitting and reading environment, I imagine them to be looking forward to coming to the Book Club for the reading leisure and the environment that I provide to them.
