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

Developing a passion and love for reading begins as early as Kindergarten. The following bean bags and fun seating will help create a fun climate that encourages students to explore and learn. The library seating will also double as a "calming" corner for students who need to regroup if they are experiencing strong emotions or simply need a break.

The students in my classroom are very diverse and their learning needs vary in range.

Not only is my classroom full inclusion but for many this is their first experience in a school setting. Thus, implementing a fun and comfortable learning environment is crucial. These supplies with aide in doing just that!
