Project Description:
My students come from low income homes where reading is not viewed as necessary. Most of their parents did not finish high school and they are not encouraged to read. We are in the largest and poorest county in NC. To combat this, I would like to create a nice, comfortable, cheery, relaxing reading center in the classroom for my students. A place where they can immerse themselves in what they are reading instead of being distracted by hard chairs and tables.
