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

My students are in a self-contained specialized class with classifications of both autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities. September is quickly approaching and the new school year will be upon us soon! I've been working for 16 years in my current school and my library needs a makeover!

The kids will love the comfortable bean bag chair to sit on while reading a favorite book!

It is so important having a comfy place to get "lost" in a book. The shelves will also be filled with new colorful book bins and some much-needed higher-level book sets. Accurate leveled books are important for independent reading and for increasing comprehension skills. Please consider donating to my project.
