Reading Haven

Help me give my students an amazing, but calming reading area. I want to enrich students' love for reading. I want this to be their favorite area of the classroom!

My Project

My fourth graders coming up are eager, determined and persevere through everything! They love to engage in partner reading, independent reading, and listening to their teacher read. We are starting the Accelerated Reader program this year, and I truly believe these materials will really motivate students to want to read.

The chairs will give them a sense of comfort, relaxation, and comfort that their desk chair doesn't give them.

They can relax and focus on the adventure in the books they're reading. The lamps will allow the classroom lights to be off for a serene and safe vibe.
