Currently, it is a challenge to draw my students to the classroom library. An inviting space would encourage them to be more open to the possibilities. My students see reading as a chore and not as an activity to be enjoyed. The hope is that they will be more inclined to show interest in reading if the environment shows promise of enjoyment. My students are struggling readers who have not had many successes in that area. As a result, they are quite timid to take risks. Funding this project will give them the opportunity to move to the reading nook and take a risk. Reading more will help them access 21st century learning opportunities. My students will look forward to and enjoy their independent reading time.
