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 3rd-grade students enjoy reading books in English and Spanish!

Providing a quiet and inviting space, complete with a new rug, is essential to help students develop a lifelong love for reading and knowledge.

There are many other benefits to having a rug. A classroom library space promotes equity by ensuring all students have access to quality reading materials every day, nurturing a lifelong passion for learning and discovery. My 3rd-grade students will find a comfy rug enticing and calming as they enjoy their favorite chapter books. Thank you in advance.
