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

Loving a cozy spot to crawl up with a good book is something all children deserve to experience. These shelves will help organize a robust library of exciting titles.

Students love to move about their classroom and having carpet spots gives them ownership of their area.

Also, Having a place to hang resources is necessary to the classroom so that students can refer to them and be in control of their own learning.

Success comes from independence and these supplies will ensure this happens in our class
