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 requesting a rug and 2 ottomans, where students can sit and read. We need a rug with room for all the students. They need a designated seat. This rug has enough spots for everyone in my classroom. We would also like to ottomans that can be used as seats and can store all our reading buddies. I would like to provide my students with a place that can be calm and comfortable. I want to make the classroom library look inviting and comfy.

"You can find magic wherever you look, Sit back and relax, all you need is a book" Dr Seuss.

Please help me create a great reading space for my students. Thank you so much for your time and donations to public education!
