Shh!! Reading in Progress!

Help me give my students a quieter more enriching library experience. The bookshelf cubbies make it possible to share engaging literacy activities that match the storybooks on the shelves.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Eckinger's classroom raised $619

My Project

The new bookshelf will be a game-changer! It will allow me to display engaging stories on a multi-level shelf that will grab students' attention. The underneath storage will allow students easy access to literacy activities. The shelf will allow me to rotate materials easily to keep students engaged as well as learning new skills. One such material is the literacy stews. The magnetic letters along with the pots and pans will allow me to create literacy stews. The stews will help the students with letter, sound, and even word identification.

These rugs will give a cozy feel to the classroom library.

Our classroom is filled with tile floors and cinderblock walls. The rugs will will help dampen the sound throughout the classroom, creating a more peaceful and calm learning atmosphere.
