Reading Nook

Help me give my students these adorable flexible seating bean bags. Having these would definitely encourage a child to grab a book and read from the classroom library.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

I love when students feel the most comfortable in a space they spend a lot of time at. School should be fun and enjoyable. These seats would definitely help students feel that comfort they need to relax with a book or even as a spot to refocus and reflect. Kids love a place where they feel they can express themselves and to do that they have to feel safe. These chairs will provide my students the opportunity to be seated in comfort. It will give my classroom such an inviting feel when they come in.
