Ms. Tinney from Meraux LA is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Ready. Set. Seat Sacks!

My students need a safe place to keep their reading material during the day so that our library books can stay as good as new.

My Students

I teach a wonderful group of energetic and enthusiastic 3rd graders. They come to school each morning excited about learning new things. They strive to reach academic goals set for them. They love to read and get lost in the world of their books.

My students are striving to do their best academically.

Many of my students come from low-income homes and receive free or reduced lunch. From the moment they walk in the door, they strive to overcome any obstacles thrown their way. It is my job to see this through for them.

My Project

My third graders are in need of a great, safe place to store their books. As part of our curriculum, my students are required to participate in 30 minutes of independent reading daily. It can be tough to find the right books to keep them interested. I am requesting at desk book storage so reading material is readily available to my readers.

These seat sacks would help keep our classroom library books looking brand new.

These seat sacks will allow my students what is needed for their library books to be available to them at all times; as well as being able to keep everything neat and organized.
