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

My kindergarteners are curious, energetic, and full of creativity. They love to read, draw, and explore new things every day. The bookshelf will help us organize and display books in an inviting way, making it easier for students to choose and enjoy stories. The reusable coloring books will give them a fun, mess-free way to express themselves while practicing fine motor skills. The cushions will create a cozy reading corner where they can relax and enjoy books comfortably. These simple resources will turn our classroom into a space where reading and creativity come alive!
