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

Independent reading is a fun everyday activity in our kindergarten classroom. Help me give my students flexible seating to be comfortable and explore reading in the classroom. The rockers and cushion seats will allow my students to choose where they would like to read and settle down with a good book. Giving students some choice in the classroom is empowering. Children need to move. This seating will allow them to wobble or rock in a controlled setting.

Learning to write in kindergarten is a challenging task.

The writing materials will help my students feel more comfortable and support their writing success. Thank you for considering donating to my classroom and helping me give my students the materials they need to succeed.
