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

The sofa will be used in our classroom library to create a safe and enjoyable environment for our students to begin exploring reading. Our classroom library will be available for my students to read and enjoy books. The sofa will create a space for them to sit and read their books. My goal for this is to create a classroom library area to grow my students' love for learning. The chair pockets will be used for daily work as we do not have cubbies or another space for their work, they will use the pockets to house their school work every day. This will create an organized classroom and help my students keep our class clean.

Mrs. Hambalek will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by September 6.
