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
With gratitude and excitement to share a special opportunity to enhance our classroom reading environment.
One of the most meaningful additions we can make for our students is something simple, yet powerful: a carpet for our reading nook.
A soft, inviting carpet creates more than just a cozy spot on the floor—it builds a sense of belonging. In this space, students feel safe, welcomed, and comfortable enough to explore the joys of reading. It becomes a place where stories come to life, imaginations grow, and confidence blossoms. This reading nook fosters not only a love for books but also meaningful collaboration. Students often gather here to read together, share ideas, and support one another. It’s a space where friendships grow alongside literacy skills, and where every child—regardless of their reading level—feels included and encouraged.
In addition, cleaning wipes play an important role in supporting our learning environment. They help us maintain a classroom that is clean, fresh, and organized—free of odors and clutter. More importantly, they offer students daily opportunities to practice responsibility, care for shared spaces, and develop habits that support both personal and community wellness.
For many of our students, especially those who may not have access to quiet or comfortable places to read at home, this space—and the skills we reinforce within it—is essential. Your generosity in helping us provide both a carpet and classroom cleaning supplies will make a direct, lasting impact on their learning experience and emotional well-being.
