Celebrating 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
Many of my students are struggling readers that need decodable books to practice with success. The colorful book sets will help my students build fluency as they practice their reading in school or at home. The seat cushions will help my students sit comfortably in their seats for longer periods of time. The set of brooms will make it easy to keep our classroom floors clean, while the desk organizer will reduce the clutter in the room.
My students deserve fun and engaging books to help them build their reading fluency.
All these items will make my classroom more inviting for all students.
