My Project
In my classroom, every student has a unique story to tell, and the right environment can make all the difference in their journey as readers and writers. That’s why I’m asking for your support to create a cozy, inviting space with bean bag chairs and foldable storage shelves, where students can focus on their reading and writing goals.
With a little extra comfort, students can immerse themselves in books, explore new ideas, and express themselves through writing without the distractions of traditional classroom seating.
By providing soft seating, more bookshelves for culturally responsive texts, and a welcoming atmosphere, students will have the space they need to engage more deeply and ultimately, improve their literacy skills.
Whether students want to curl up with a good book, or enjoy a cozy writing spot where ideas flow freely, your support will shape my classroom into a place where they can feel empowered, inspired, and focused on the goals they’ve set for themselves.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
