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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our intervention classroom is held in an unused media center there are many wooden bookshelves, hard tables, chairs and no carpets or rugs.

Our students deserve a place where they can feel safe, confident and comfortable as they work through their difficulties with reading.

All of the items on the list will assist in creating an environment that will support their learning and a comfortable space they can practice their reading skills in cozy areas around the room.

The flexible seating items will assist in keeping students focused on their activities while stimulating their sensory needs.
