My Project

I love that most of my students love to read and write. I also want to give them places they can go to inside the classroom that are quiet and comfortable for them. Some students like lounging on my carpet, and some students like to lay under their desks while reading. I also feel that those students who do not like to read as much might get more motivated if they had some great places to sit in some awesome chairs or on some soft pillows. My students read independently daily, as I go around and conference with them about what they are reading.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
