My Project

I will be teaching ELA in the 2023-2024 school year! I am wanting to establish the perfect reading nook for silent reading time and reading groups.

I want to make my students feel comfortable in my classroom, and I want it to feel like a second home to them.

Reading can be difficult for students so if I can provide a classroom that is comfortable and relaxing then that is what I will do! This is why I'm requesting a futon, rug, stools, and storage cube.

Any and all support is greatly appreciated! This is not everything I need for my reading nook, but it is a great start for the 2023-2024 school year!

Mrs. Francis J.G. McCracken Middle School Grades 6-8
