Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This wooden bench and cheerful classroom rug will provide my reading intervention students with a comfortable and inviting spot to read. This two items will motivate my students as they participate in reading class.

My students are struggling readers.

I hope that these items will provide a safe place for my students to come to daily. These items are inviting and will help my students be happy and promote a positive attitude as they come to my room to work in small groups on their reading skills.

My students are special because they have great potential. This year, in this classroom, I hope my students realize their amazing potential. I want to provide them with the best, safest, most comforting environment in which to learn.
