Reading Nook Makeover

Help me give my students a reading nook makeover, with a new rug and pillows to make their reading area nice and comfy.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Heather Snyder's classroom raised $208

My Project

The reading nook area of my classroom is the most sought-after place for the students when they read or have independent work. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them, especially when reading. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.

The new rug and pillows will help the students be comfortable and enjoy a different place to read.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
