My Project

I am a teacher of Reading Intervention. The students I see are reading below grade level and are struggling to keep up with grade level curriculum. Don't you want the place that gives you extra support to be the place you enjoy the most? The goal of this project would be to create a learning space that exudes comfort and well-being. Bean bag chairs upon an area rug will create an environment welcome to reading and talking about reading. In this relaxed setting, students will feel safe asking questions and taking risks while filling in their learning gaps.
