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

Beanbags provide a comfortable, and cool, place for students to sit and engage with text. It's also a great place for taking time to manage big feelings, or have great conversations with peers.

Your gift will allow my four year olds to begin their journey into literacy, and building great relationships.

All my children are students in a Title 1 school, and nearly half are in temporary housing. Creating a warm , welcoming space for learning and growing helps me to provide safe, successful learning opportunities for these amazing children.
