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
We are working to create a personal library space for each of our children. Our goal is to inspire a love for reading and encourage our students to engage more with books. By providing them with their own dedicated area, complete with tables and chairs, we believe they will feel more excited and motivated to read. We hope this personal space will foster a greater enthusiasm for learning and reading among our students. Our students work incredibly hard throughout the school year, and we want to give them a setup they can truly appreciate. By creating their own personal reading space, we hope to offer them a quiet, peaceful area where they can unwind and enjoy some time with a good book. Having their own dedicated space to read will not only help them focus, but we believe it will also encourage their love for reading. We’re confident they would be truly grateful for the opportunity to have their own spot to escape into a story.
