Funded Mar 3, 2020With all of the technology and extra-curricular activities available to today's students, it isn't any wonder that teachers are noticing significant declines in the number of students who read for pleasure. With this in mind, my hope was to create a sought-after space for students to WANT to visit for the sole purpose of reading. This was the concept that spurred my two Donor's Choose projects: "Reading Resurrection!" and "Rockin' Readers."
Donors came out in a big way and helped fulfill not only the wishlist for books ("Reading Resurrection!") but also provided some creative alternative seating that draws students in and makes them want to participate in this reading endeavor. Today was the first day and I was thrilled to see how the students reacted to the space and the variety of books! Thank you so much for your generosity and helping to show my seventh grade students that reading can be enjoyable!”
With gratitude,
