At Sunrise Elementary School, second-grade teacher Mrs. Karrie Gutwald recently transformed her classroom’s reading corner into a more inviting and engaging space for students. Thanks to funding through DonorsChoose, a crowdfunding platform dedicated to supporting teachers, Mrs. Gutwald was able to provide her students with cozy beanbag seating and a classroom subscription to Scholastic News.
The comfortable corner will enable students to enjoy books, fostering both literacy skills and a love of reading. The Scholastic News subscription will also give students access to age-appropriate current events, helping them connect their classroom learning to the world around them.
