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

I would like to provide a fun, comfortable spot in the library for our readers! Our young students love to read and providing a separate area in the library with some cool bean bags would be inviting!

Some of our reluctant readers would benefit from having a cool spot to come and read.

My hope is that it will inspire them to read more if they have a special place to sit and read.

The majority of our students are from low-income families. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and cozy environment where students will feel comfortable to come hang out and read!
