My Project

One of the most beautiful things to see my students do is demonstrate their love for reading! My students love "DEAR" time which stands for Drop Everything and Read. This is precious time that we have during our busy day to just relax and enjoy a good book.

We have a small library area where I'd love to beautify for them to enjoy reading.

My students would be so excited to have some new edition books, cozy and comfortable seating such as seating cushions, a nice rug, and child sized furniture for our calming library area.
