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.
My Students
My students are hardworking, clever, and fun to be around. They have a variety of different learning styles. The students benefit from various levels of reading materials and hands-on activities. Their determination and resilience make my job so rewarding.
I'm fortunate to share my students' successes and help them overcome their challenges.
Ninety-five percent of our school is considered low-income and receives free or reduced-price lunch. The student body consists of sixty-five percent Latino, thirty percent African-American, and five percent Caucasian students.
My Project
I am requesting a book bench for our Calm Reading Corner. Our sixth-grade students participate in thirty minutes of independent reading every day. They are provided the chance to sit in a comfortable spot in our classroom. Currently, we only have a rug and one bean bag chair.
This bench will provide students with additional flexible seating options in our Reading Corner.
I have promoted how to find a comfortable spot to read in my Language Arts Classes. Many students have utilized our carpet area near the library because it is quiet and dimly lit. The bench in this project will provide students with the opportunity to curl up with a good book. It will also serve as a spot to store art materials that are currently in closed cabinets. I want students to be able to access materials independently, and this bench will help with that effort!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
