My students need comfy cushions for independent reading time so that they can find a place in our room to read a good book. We also need plastic book covers to protect our class books.

Celebrating 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.
The school that I teach at is a public charter school, that is run like a private school. Students are admitted through a lottery program, which makes many of the students feel as though they are lucky to be a part of this community. Because we are a small, public school resources are limited. Students and teachers are required to provide most, if not all, of the supplies and texts that we need in our classrooms.
My students have a passion for learning and truly enjoy being a part of our school.
I have a large number of students who thank me when they leave my room, which was a concept completely foreign to me. At previous schools, my students dreaded being there, but at our school the environment is largely a positive one. I know it sounds cliche, but I really do enjoy seeing these students every day.
My Project
As an English teacher, the students in my class do quite a bit of reading and are responsible for purchasing their own books. So they don’t have to do that, I have a class set of each book we use, and they end up being pretty well loved.
We need to protect our books so that they last as long as possible.
Books aren’t cheap, especially when 120 students are using them. This is why book protectors are needed for my classroom! In addition to book protectors, a laminator for our class would significantly help with the various projects students do in our class, and would allow me to reuse items year after year instead of remaking them all time.
I'd also love to have some chair cushions that students can use either on their chairs or take to the floor so that they are comfortable while reading.
