Comfy Library Please

Funded Aug 12, 2019

My class loves the items your were able to donate. We use both carpets everyday. I thought having two would make it easier. But it's just as hard as having one. I say that because ALL my students want to sit on the carpets. But I an truly thankful for the two I have because it allows me to give 6-8 students the opportunity to be comfortable when they read. I found that letting them sit in the carpet boost their motivation to read. They have had the opportunity to use them as well to do station work. I even use them for students who can't see the board from their Regular seats to sit comfortably closer to the board. We used the headphones during our computer lab session for those students that didn't have their own.

My students were equally excited to see the black rugs as they were seeing my spongebob decorations. They loved it the first time when I let them read on the carpets, I turned the lights off and turned the lamp on for real relaxing. It's funny, my students last year that visit my room were very jealous that I have two rugs this year. They were kind of upset. But sometimes I let them come enjoy the rugs when they can.:)

The next steps for my students are now to practice their writing skills that show they can respond to comprehension questions. The first step of getting them interested in reading was hard. Now they must be able to retain that information correctly.

For my first time using DonorsChoose I am grateful and thankful the project was a success all because of you.”
