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

I want to create an comfortable and organized classroom library for my students to enjoy reading in the classroom. They are all embarking on their journey of reading and I want to make it more enjoyable for them.

We have all heard the phrase "Reading is Fundamental".

But reading is also FUN! I want to create a space in the classroom where they can relax and unwind with a book.

My students have improved so much in their literacy skills and I want to assist in continuing that growth daily.
