Reading in Comfort

Help me give my students a comfy pillow to lean back on while reading on the floor in my classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gallo's classroom raised $279

My Project

I offer free reading for my students on a weekly basis. During this time, students choose a French chapter book and a place to read in the classroom. Many don't like to sit in their chairs to read and prefer to sit on the floor.

With the purchase of these pillows, my students will have a more comfortable reading experience.

Reading in French is essential to improve their fluency, proficiency and comprehension. Students will be able to use these pillows not only for reading but for other activities we do in the classroom. When students work on their own or with a partner, they're able to work any where in the room, many students prefer to sit in comfort and these pillows will be a great choice! They will also be used when we watch French movies at the end of a unit.
