Help me give my students a quality reading center. Understanding print is an important milestone for our Pre-K children.

My Project

The reading center is the least picked center in my room. I want to make it more inviting. This canopy reading center would do just that.

Kiddos judge by their eyes.

In my reading center all they see is a single bookshelf and a bean bag, but they love to look through books. The problem was clear they need a furniture change. Our room design is pete the cat so a pete the cat stuffie would be a great addition to our reading center as well.

Thank you for reading and a even bigger thank you if you donate.
