My Project

I have a literacy corner and keurig. I am looking for more supplies, like teas, hot chocolate, and cider, to make the reading experience enjoyable. I want to bring back the joy in reading.

I have high interest graphic novels and hot drinks to help my scholars relax and reset.

An enjoyable experience can have them feeling good about reading. The graphic novels and other books are to extend the studies of current topics. Thank you for your support in making the cafe experience truly engaging and enriching for my scholars.
