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

My students love to read freely and can always be found with a book. For most, reading isn’t an assignment, it’s an opportunity for exploration and an outlet for discovery.

I am requesting four beanbag seats for our reading area.

With your help, I’d love to provide my students with a reading environment that allows them to explore and discover in comfort. Imagine yourself with a great book in a comfortable and relaxed setting!

How quickly pages turn when students are 100 percent engaged in the text. Help me bring that vision to reality for my students. Help me bring flex seating to our classroom learning environment for my current and future students.
