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

I would like to add more books and items to my original project to create a unique and quiet reading space for my classroom. I plan to re-create a sanctuary and get-away for my students to escape into a good book.

I will purchase new books, area rugs, bean bags, and throw pillows to create the space necessary to enhance the student's learning.

My library has many outdated and damaged books. I am going to replace them with authors and titles the students are more interested in. The materials will entice the students to want to sit and read. It will be comfortable, safe and unique.
