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

The purpose of a reading nook in a small space in the classroom is to create a cozy and inviting environment that fosters a love for reading and promotes literacy development among students. Reading nooks offer students a quiet space where they can retreat from the hustle and bustle of the classroom to relax, reflect, and recharge. This can be particularly beneficial for introverted or highly sensitive students who may need occasional breaks from social interactions.

Teachers can curate the collection to include a range of reading materials suitable for different age groups, abilities, and interests, thereby supporting differentiated instruction.
