My Project

Reading is something I want to make fun for my students. Every time they pick out a book, I want them to be transported to another realm. However, the desks at school are hard cold metal constructs that don't always facilitate the imagination process.

I want a give my students a comfortable place where minds can imagine and explore the wonders of reading.

I've already purchased and acquired a few bean bags for my room. With the generous help of many people, I'm also waiting for a reading carpet. I am just hoping to get a few more bean bag chairs for everyone to share. The kids all squish together on the few I have right now and I would love to give them more.

Thank you for your help!
