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

Classroom libraries help students' literacy skills, foster an inclusive and engaging learning environment, and promote the love of reading. Every child deserves an encouraging and comfortable environment to learn and explore the world of literacy. I believe that by providing an environment where children feel encouraged and comfortable, children will find a love of reading, which will enhance, support, and improve their learning.

These items will help create an encouraging and comfortable classroom library.

Students will have the opportunity to explore their love for reading by having access to their own library, with a comfortable corner to enjoy the books they love.
