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 trying to purchase bean bags chairs and a carpet for our reading corner(s).

I am trying to promote literacy and a love of reading for my students by providing a comfortable and safe environment.

What makes my students special is that we are a Title 1 school with reduced lunches and we do not get the funding that other schools get. Our students come from minorities and low income families.

I am requesting the Bean bags so that the students can get incentives to use the reading corners and sit on them when they reach their goals.

I am requesting a carpet to place under the bean bags so that they do not slide on the tiled floor and so that the reading corner can feel more comfortable and cozy.
