This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
I work with an amazing group of third graders who often struggle to find the time and motivation to explore their favorite topics through literature. After acquiring many new and popular titles to try and engage them, I felt they could benefit from a change in environment to encourage them to relax and re-engage with their favorite texts.
My goal is to inspire my students to get lost in their favorite books in the comfort of our classroom.
Many of my students do not have a space at home where they can curl up and read. I want to provide this unique space for them to show how reading is not just about textbooks on our desk! It is a way we can relax, re-engage with our favorite hobbies, and discuss our favorite stories with our peers.
Sometimes something as simple as a new couch ignites the excitement in students to participate because they want to enjoy access to a special environment. My hope is to create a more inviting space for my students to enjoy!
