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

These library chairs and bookcases will be used to give my class library a new look. By making my library more inviting and READ-y for my students, they will more than likely be motivated to pick a book or two to read. I am positive that by creating a comfortable library with these items, I will attract my students to want to visit our library and read more. Reading is essential, but so is a place where they feel happy, comfty and excited to read. I know these library chairs and bookcases will add a special touch to our class library!
