My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home" in our reading academy. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The large carpet will be the foundation of our reading corner. Students will lounge on the comfortable bean bags while reading and learning. The headphones will be used while students explore leveled reading lessons at the laptop station. Furthermore, the paper baskets will hold daily differentiated reading material to help accelerate student learning. At the end of the year, all of the supplies will be tucked away safely in the storage bins so that they're ready to make a home for another group of learners.
