Flexible Seating Focused on Reading and Choice!

My Project

“Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or a duty. It should be offered as a gift.” - Kate DiCamillo.

Please help me to create an environment that captures the true love of literacy and reading for my students.

The wobble cushions and stools will provide my students with options to enjoy solo reading or sharing a good book with a friend. Organizing by author and genre with the requested bins will allow the students to explore easily their interests and discover new books! The bookshelves will not only provide these options but allow for more reading choices at their finger tips. Please consider donating to help my students capture their love for adventure, mystery, history, and learning!
