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

Our 3 grade-level, special needs classroom needs books and space to read, think and grow! We need quiet spaces that let us have flexible seating so that we can read when we have met our learning targets for the day.

It's more fun to read and think alone or with friends when have what we need, like a carpet to sit on with soft cushions because it's more comfortable to read for fun.

Our classroom can become noisy and that makes it hard to concentrate or want to read in a way we can understand or enjoy.

Please help us make our classroom a comfortable space so that we can improve our reading.

If we have the noise-canceling headphones will help us when the sound of classmates becomes too much for me to focus. The books are titles I can enjoy outside of what I have to read for school.
