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 Students

I teach first grade in a low income community in Salinas, California. I love my students because they are always ready to learn, full of life, creative, smart, and most importantly they are very thoughtful. What makes them special is that they are very caring for one another. I also LOVE the immense love they have for me.

They motivate me to be fully prepared everyday and go out of my way to find different learning strategies.

My students inspire me to be the change I want to want to see in the world.

My Project

My library has a special reading room designated for quiet, relaxed reading. The room has book shelves and a large space in between them for students to read.

Bean bags and books are the perfect combination.

The first seating option chosen is always the bean bags. Students get situated, start reading, and do not want to stop. It is very important for the students to have some quiet time to relax and read because of their demanding academic curriculum.

The reading room is in great need of new bean bags. Let's face it, bean bags lose their fluff after a while. The students deserve to have inviting, fresh surroundings.
