Read, Rest, Relax: Transforming Our Library with a Futon

Help me give my students a cozy spot to read for our classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Keys's classroom raised $414

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classroom library is more than just a collection of books, it's a space where imagination soars, curiosity flourishes, and a love for reading begins. To create a more welcoming and comfortable environment for our young readers, I am seeking support for a cozy futon.

A futon will transform my classroom library into a space where students can relax, immerse themselves in books, and develop positive attitudes toward reading.

By providing a soft and inviting seating option, we can encourage students to spend more time exploring books, improving both their literacy skills and their enjoyment of reading. My primary goal is to create a comfortable and inviting library space where students want to spend time reading.
