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

Introducing a couch, rug, and pillows into our classroom will create a reading center promising to bring about several positive impacts within our classroom environment. Firstly, it offers a comfortable and inviting space for students to engage with books and other reading materials. The relaxed seating arrangement can help foster a sense of coziness and relaxation, which is conducive to focused reading and comprehension.

The inclusion of a these materials in our reading center will not only enhance the physical comfort of my students but also contribute to a more dynamic and interactive learning environment, ultimately fostering a love for reading and promoting academic achievement.

By providing a shared space where students can comfortably sit together, exchange ideas, and explore texts, the couch promotes a sense of community within the classroom.
