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

In our classroom we prioritize creating a genuine enjoyment of reading. I want to foster an environment where students are motivated to read and don’t feel like it’s just another task to do. This bean bag will motivate students to read as it provides an alternative form of seating. Flexible seating is engaging for students and it gives them a break from normal seating during reading. This bean bag will encourage my students to read and feel comfortable during reading time. Thank you for your support and helping us get this bean bag into our classroom.
