Pull Up a Seat!

Funded Sep 27, 2019

On behalf on my students and I, I would like to thank you for giving to my project. There is not one teacher I know that does not spend his/her own money for necessary classroom supplies. Because of your donations, I see that I do not have to do everything on my own. As they say, "it takes a village to raise a child."

Classroom pillows might not seem like that big of a necessity but my students were sure excited when they popped up in our window sill! After each reading lesson, they race to get a pillow and often cozy up to a friend for independent reading time. The students are so focused and responsible with their flexible seating choices- it's amazing!

We have just finished up our first reading unit of the year. This included reading realistic fiction texts in small groups. The students said they loved reading in book clubs and cannot wait to do it again. My hope is to continue to nurture their love of reading and expand the classroom library with high-level interest books.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Diaz
