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 items I have chosen for my classroom will help my students have a comfortable, safe space to learn to love reading again. With the social-emotional impact of COVID-19, students need a familiar place to escape for a while. Even if they are not able to travel to other places, they are able to go there in their minds with a good book.

I feel that it is extremely important that students have the opportunity to read for enjoyment as they learn other important school subjects.

Any kind of reading, whether for enjoyment or academic purposes, will aid in increasing a student's vocabulary and overall comprehension. Having a section of our classroom designated for students to feel safe and comfortable as they read is important. As an adult, I find it difficult to read sitting in a rigid desk, surrounded by others. I feel that having a designated space for these activities will help them lose themselves in their reading.
