My Project

Since we are a low equity school, I would love to give my students a comfy, cozy area to read, relax, and cool down. My students will be able to come to this area with the rug, pillows, and bean bags to read at designated reading times. This will give my students a chance to reach their AR goals every nine weeks. My first graders will need help reading sometimes, so this big area will allow me to help them when needed.
