Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

My kids love to read ! But most importantly, they love to be comfortable while reading and would love to have comfy, cozy pillows to lean back on and relax in while they are getting into a good book!

A reading area that is inviting and colorful is key in any classroom in order to help kids gain a true love for books and stories!

I would like my reading nook to inspire my students so that they can't wait to go over and open up their new book! With these new pillows and seats they kids will surely not only be excited , but also motivated to keep their learning focused and thriving.
