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 Project
I am passionate about instilling a love for reading in my young students. To support this goal, I am seeking your generous help to create a safe and inviting reading area in our classroom.
This special space will provide my students with a cozy environment where they can immerse themselves in books and enhance their reading skills.
Our Needs and Their Impact:
Comfortable Seating:
Benches and Cozy Pillows: These will create a cozy and inviting atmosphere where students feel relaxed and focused, making reading a pleasurable activity. Comfortable seating is essential for young children to maintain their interest and concentration while reading.
Rugs:Defining the reading area with rugs will make the space feel special and dedicated to reading, helping students transition mentally into a reading mindset.
Child-Friendly Bookshelf:A sturdy, accessible bookshelf will store and display a variety of books, encouraging children to explore and choose books that interest them. An organized and attractive display can spark curiosity and foster a sense of ownership over their reading choices.
Educational Tablet: Equipped with educational apps, this tablet will support reading practice through interactive and engaging tools. Access to digital libraries and interactive reading programs will cater to different learning styles and abilities, complementing traditional books and making reading more inclusive.
Help me provide a dedicated space where students can practice reading daily, improving their fluency and comprehension.
