Reading Rug

Help me give my students a comfy new rug and tools to keep our space clean.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Meeks's classroom raised $245

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal is to create a classroom library space in which my students really enjoy- they can buddy read, complete work there, and read independently! To create an environment that students want to go to and feel safe and special in is the goal.

I want all of my students to enjoy reading and creating an environment to do this is a good way to encourage reading.

With fun seating and a warm and inviting library rug, I believe my classroom library setting will encourage students to want to read.

Not only will my students be able to use this space for independent and group reading, but this space can be used as a safe space for students to go to and use as needed. I am also asking for cleaning supplies to keep our space clean. Please help me to provide my students with a classroom library space to help promote reading fun and a safe environment.
