Reading Makes Life Colorful, Help Us Make It Comfortable!
Help me give my students a comfortable space with flexible seating, including bean bag chairs, and saucer chairs to open up a book and enjoy their school library.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Across the nation, schools were closed for the final quarter of the 2019-2020 school year. Some of these students didn't return to brick and mortar school until the 2021-2022 school year. Across the nation, we also saw a decline in reading scores in the primary grades.
To combat this decline and encourage the love of reading, students need a comfortable place to sit down with a good book, snuggle up, and read away.
The flexible seating, including bean bag chairs of different styles and saucer chairs will provide this for the students of Scales Technology Academy. Additionally, the bookmarks will provide an organizational tool, as well as an incentive to keep on reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
