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

The following school year will be a challenging year because I can only provide some supplies for my students due to budget cuts. I would love to provide a few extra bilingual books for our ocean animal study. I am in the process of moving to another classroom and would love to create a more comfortable reading area.

The books and floor pillows will help my students with an opportunity to have more books for their unit of study along with creating a more comfortable reading time.

I want my students to love reading and by providing the right tools I will be able to accomplish this love for reading.
