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

Our 5th grade classroom library is a beloved space where students dive into exciting adventures through books. This flexible space will provide students a calm and soothing atmosphere to read.

The best reading occurs when students are comfortable and are enjoying a good book.

To make this experience even better, we need a cozy couch! A comfortable seating area will encourage students to spend more time reading and exploring new worlds. It will provide a quiet, inviting spot where they can relax, focus, and enjoy their books. Your support will help create a nurturing reading environment, fostering a love for literature and enhancing their learning. Thank you for helping us make our library a perfect reading haven!
