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

During small group right we are all cramped together because their chairs are too big to sit around the table. The students love the one on one attention they get during small group because they get the chance to show me what they know. By having the stools we will have more room and this will cut down on the fight for space.

The rug will provide the students with a comfortable space to read.

They love to have an area where they feel comfortable and safe and this rug will provide them with a designated space to sit while they read.
