Igniting Love for Reading!

Funded Dec 21, 2019

Thank you so much for your donations. Igniting the love of reading in my students was much easier with my classroom reading corner. My students are eager to utilize the reading corner daily. There are times that there is no room on the carpet for students to sit and read and that makes my heart extremely happy.

My students were excited when materials started arriving. They were anxious for me to assemble the book shelves and set up the carpet and chairs. Once the corner was ready they didn't hesitate to put it to use. They love to sit and just read.

I have designated one day a week to "drop everything and read". We call it DEAR time. My students don't know what day of the week it will be, but they anxiously await for me to say "DEAR time". They quickly grab their books and head to the reading corner. This would not be possible without your donations. I see the love for reading growing in my classroom and for that I thank you.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Legarretta
