Help me give my students a comfortable place to sit and listen to books. When children feel relaxed and safe as they sit and listen to books or read them, they learn more.

My Students
My students attend a Title One School in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Many of my students live in homes with a single working parent, and some of my students' parents are incarcerated. These children do need support from teachers and community leaders to help them be their best.
Forty percent of my class is composed of English Language Learners, and twenty percent is African American.
These children often struggle, because they do not have the supports at home to help them learn. All of my students are precious motivated children who simply lack the resources they need to teach their full potential.
My Project
My students asked me today if I could buy them a carpet or something soft to sit on while I read them stories. So, I decided my students deserve to sit on a soft place in a cozy environment to listen to stories and to read themselves. Children need to feel safe and comfortable in their learning community and having a soft carpet to sit on will allow my students to experience the most positive learning environment possible. The environment is everything when motivating readers to fall in love with learning. Please help my students enjoy a soft and cozy place to enjoy books.
