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

I am thrilled to embark on a project that holds the potential to instill a love for reading in our remarkable students. As these young learners diligently work on developing crucial pre-reading skills, it becomes evident that they require a special haven to promote their interest in reading. A Cozy Library is far more than a collection of books; it's a place where our students can immerse themselves in stories, explore new worlds, and discover comfort. For children with autism, having a dedicated library corner takes on added significance as it offers a nurturing space that encourages learning, imagination, and relaxation.

Help me to provide a space for my students that emanates warmth and security, featuring soft seating, cozy cushions, and decor that envelopes students in a sense of belonging.
