Help Make New Students Feel Welcome!

Help me give my students comfortable seating and an inviting environment for reading!

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

This project is for comfortable seating arrangements for those who have sensory issues and for a safer floor option for the new seating arrangements. Tile can possibly rip the seating.

This rug & pillows would make students feel more comfortable for silent reading time and more invited so that they may read more often in the classroom.

Since this is a resource room, it is something that I am trying to get the students to do more often to improve their goals in reading fluency and reading comprehension. With an inviting environment, this is something that I may be able to do for them.
