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

Sara said, “The floor is too hard.” Sara said, “The cushion is too soft.” Sara yelled, “These flexible seats are just right,” so she sat in a flex space comfy floor seat and read a good book. Wouldn’t this scenario be ideal? Help make my classroom library a cozy one with a set of four flexible chairs. These just-right chairs will make students want to come over and enjoy reading a good book. Let’s give students a break from their Chromebooks and stiff desk chairs, so that they can enjoy these just-right seats.
