My Project

My students have a natural love for reading and the escape it provides them from their everyday distractions. My students are emerging learners who are able to read more and more books by the day. We currently have 6 reading chairs which leave the majority of the class sitting on the ground. This negatively impacts their desire to read.

My goal for this project is to provide students with additional seating options where they can read in comfort.

My goal is that this will encourage students to read more and explore the valuable benefits that come from reading. The specific item I am requesting provides seating for students so they do not have to sit on the ground.
