Mrs. Gallup from Galesburg MI is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Reading in Comfort!

My students need Comfy Chairs and Floor Seats to have a comfortable place in our classroom to read. These chairs will create a comfortable place for them to do their “read to self” to help improve their reading.

My Students

My 1st graders are eager learners and need your help! They have a vast diversity in their home life. However, I want to help teach my students become independent readers no matter where they come from. My goal is to help them become lifelong readers who have a passion for reading. Please help my students by funding this project so they can become successful readers. My students work hard to overcome obstacles in their home lives, and I want to make their school life as comfortable as possible.

My Project

I want to create a school environment in my classroom that allows students to read in a comfortable setting so they can focus on improving their reading skills. They need to have a place that is independent and comfortable so they are not distracted by others or an uncomfortable body. Everyone needs a nice spot to curl up with a good book and read. These chairs and floor seats will help to create a better environment for reading, and they are easy to clean. My students will be able to use these chairs to improve their reading stamina so they can become fluent readers.
