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 so excited to plan this reading space for my students! They are such hard workers, and I would love to reward them with a comfortable reading space with a rug and round cushions so that they can have a change of scene from sitting at their desks.

We will use this new comfortable space for our daily novel reading as well as for circle discussions, clipboard group assignments and reading incentive time.

I know this will motivate them to stay engaged, keep reading and to strive for the incentives.
