My Project

For my project, I am requesting an area rug that will be used to create a reading nook in my classroom. I teach 6th grade language arts and reading intervention to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders at my school. Currently I have bean bags for the students, but they are on a tiled floor. I would like to update the reading nook to make it more comfortable for students as they learn to love to read. I am also requesting a dry erase easel. My classroom currently only has one dry erase board at the front of the room that doubles as the projector screen. Having the dry erase easel will allow the class to work together in creating anchor charts that will help with their learning and understanding of the standards.
