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

Reading is a passion that I like to instill in my students. What's better than getting cozy with a good book to drive that passion? We have the books, but we lack the area to sit and read. Although students can read at their desks, students prefer to get cozy and comfortable with their reading materials.

The addition of these two wooden bookshelves with added seating to our classroom library will provide students with the perfect little reading nook.

Students will truly be able to finally get cozy with a good book!
