My Students

Walking into my school each day is an opportunity to bring together a group of diverse children. In my classroom I strive to create a warm environment where each student has what he needs, no matter their family's socio-economic situation.

I met my incoming class at the end of the last school year, and it is full of bright, eager students who love to read!

I would love to help them start the year with just the right thing for their reading atmosphere.

My Project

It is easy for some students to lose themselves in a book no matter where they are. But for others, sitting at a table next to classmates is distracting and doesn’t feel comfortable. These seats would give students an option other than their stiff table chairs or sitting straight on the floor with no back support.

My goal is to be able to let students decide where they want to be to do their best reading.

If I can provide them with comfortable options, I know that they will read longer and stronger!

Please consider helping my 2nd grade students become the happiest readers they can be by supporting this cozy seating project!
