At a time when so much emphasis is placed on the weight of standardized testing, my students need more opportunities to read, relax, learn, color, create, and discover their passion without the worry of a score or grade. The 600+ students in 6-8 grade at our school would thrive in a space designed for them to build, tinker, and create. They need an environment where it is okay to try new things and fail, because the best learning happens in a setting where failure is okay and just another opportunity to try again. We serve kids from 6th to 8th grade (ages 11-14) and we represent and embrace many races, languages, cultures, and learning styles! Students Receiving Free/Reduced Lunch 32.4% (2017) Thank you for considering helping our kiddos! They're pretty much made of AWESOME!
My Project
Years ago we had a few bean bags that I bought for my kiddos to kick back, relax and read in after standardized testing. But, sadly the bean bags were too well-loved and bursted open or got smooshed.
This project will give students a comfy outlet to both read and relax as well as to express their creativity and artistry.
We also need a few more coloring books and colored pencils for my student artists who find coloring more relaxing than reading - we want to make sure our library is a safe haven for all my learners, crafters, artists, and creators. Thank you so much for considering our project!
