My Project

Cuddling up in a cozy teepee with their new squishy pal in a comforting space where students can relax and enjoy the magic of reading. When children feel calm and secure, they’re more likely to open up to stories and explore books with curiosity and joy.

Reading aloud to their toy gives them a sense of purpose and builds confidence, making reading feel playful and rewarding instead of stressful.

This nurturing environment helps turn reading into a comforting routine—something they look forward to and feel proud of doing.

Flexible seating spots will help make it even more Cozy !! Providing us with the t

Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to create centers for the kids to work on independently based on their individual needs.

The goal of this project is to help these kids feel successful and having a place to escape and feel comfortable doing this!
