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

Please help me create a welcoming and engaging learning environment for middle school students who are reading at least three grade levels below their peers. To support their literacy development, we need wobble stools, a bookshelf, and a rug with comfy pillows to design a cozy and organized reading corner.

This space will allow my students to experience a sense of belonging while exploring and enjoying books in their safe place.

Additionally, two timers will be crucial for helping students stay active and focused during reading sessions. Your contribution will help shape my students’ reading identities while nurturing a love for reading.

Thank you for your consideration and support!
