One of the things I struggled with last year was not having a space in my room that was inviting for independent and shared reading. Reading is one of the most important things a child will learn, and instilling a love early on is key. It also helps to have a cozy corner where they can go to escape the hustle of the classroom. One of my favorite places to read is on the floor with a comfy pillow or two. Currently my kiddos don't have that in our classroom. By donating to our project you will be helping me create an inviting and cozy reading space that my students will want to be in during reading time. I also would like to provide them with some pillows that can move around the room and provide differentiated seating options. You can't force a good reading spot, but you can make one!
