My Project

My students are unique and reading lovers. They work hard to read to each other and grow in their reading skills. They specialize in finding a safe and comfortable place in the classroom to read a book that is special to them. Some students choose a bean bag, some choose the carpet, some choose their desk, and even some choose to read under their table spot.

The goal of this project is to give students more options for what they read and where they read to continue to grow the love of reading.

Students will continue to have books in the classroom to continue to grow their knowledge in social studies, continue to show representation of characters that look like them, and even have more options for where they read by providing a special tent for student to be able to read in!

Students will be able to view these options with the add on of more books shelves for more organization by genre. Please help me give my students this much needed experience!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
