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

Help our class to create a comfy reading area with the bean bags, guided reading strips, and a few more books. My students are in third grade and are curious and love to read. They’re always ready to explore something new and love to read in the classroom. This year, we need more books for our library corner. I’m requesting several different picture books and chapter books for the variety of reading levels in my classroom. My students also need new flexible seats (bean bags) where they can comfortably sit to read these books during their free time and work on their reading skills throughout the year.

The bean bags will provide flexible seating and are light enough for them to move around if needed.
