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

Thank you for taking the time to look at my project!

The bench I am looking at will provide optimum seating for my students while reading books in the classroom library!

Also, I would like the extra shelving space that this bench offers. It doubles as a storage unit and allows students to select the bench as a reading destination.

Help furnish my classroom by giving my students another comfortable option to read at.

This bench comes with a cushion across the bench and becomes a perfect complement to our classroom library. The kids can select a book and enjoy a nice, relaxing read. I can also use the extra storage space to house extra books and teaching materials for the class.
