Help me give my students an amazing reading corner where they can explore the universe!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are low-income strivers who have worked against all odds to make it this far into their high school careers. They live in a community where education is not the first option, yet they continue to push themselves to succeed.
My students are hard workers who exemplify grit and eccentricity in everything they do.
They will overcome any obstacles and creatively educate themselves and their classmates. There is never a dull moment around my students. Even though they might not have all the resources that a school should have, they make the best of what they have and exceed all our teachers' expectations. Their beautiful hearts show when they support education in every way possible.
My Project
Our school is currently located in the basement of a church. Our classrooms are limited in size and resources. As a teacher, you try to make your classroom come to life to really engage students and welcome them into a world of fun learning. Our students struggle to want to read, and part of that is because they don't think it's fun.
Imagine a classroom that's so comfortable ANY student can be transported into a magical realm.
That's what I want with these materials. I want to create a reading corner where students can lay around, grab a book and head out into an adventure. I want them to want to run to the reading corner and be upset when I tell them to stop reading.
Please help me bring materials that they would normally not see in a classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
