My Students

Every week, my students attend library class to engage with literature, research, and technology. I strive to make the library a place where students can build a love of reading, learning, and exploring the world around them.

Our library is not a place where children are shushed and told to be quiet at all times.

My students use every inch of the library - from the tables to the computers to the bookshelves to the carpet. They have fun, learn, collaborate, and explore with books, websites, games, and more! This large, light-filled space is just the place for young brains to grow.

My Project

The chairs I'm hoping to purchase will help me add some much needed extra seating in the library. So far, the only seating options we have are some hard plastic chairs, the floor, and a couple of cozy chairs I brought from my house. Of course, the cozy spots are the ones the kids want to use the most!

My students deserve as many cozy places to read as possible!

The reading experience is so much better when you can settle in to a comfortable spot. By providing lounge chairs for my students, they will have more places to sit and get lost in a good book.
