What I've been thinking about...
A researcher asked students what's wrong with our schools. Here is what they said.......

******VISUALS OF BEST PRACTICE*****
We all know how important it is to give students time to read and support their love of reading!!!
The following chairs were donated to Ms. Cornibe's class through Donorschoose.org!!! They help create an environment where students are excited to sit and immerse themselves in a good book.
If you haven't already, think about going to Donors Choose and submitting a wish list to create your own reading area!!!
