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 am asking for the following items to spruce up my reading center in my classroom. My students enjoy their DEAR time every day. It gives them autonomy to choose what they read and the bean bag chairs for where they read it. Students feel confined to their spaces everyday during all lessons so their DEAR time should be spent in lively and comfortable areas around the classroom.

My goal for this project is to have a comfy and flexible place to read for every single student in my classroom and therefore foster a greater love of reading for fun!
