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 Students

Organization is key, especially when it comes to leveled reading books! That is why we desperately need a mobile storage cart where books will be organized and accessible to students.

The students in my class love to read, but keeping the books in our library organized has been a hard task.

They attend a low income, inner city school where reading is encouraged and enjoyed. I have tons of leveled books for them, but no way to organize them effectively. A storage cart is just what we need!

My Project

Having a mobile storage cart with bins organized and labeled will allow my students to choose their books quickly. They will be able to access the cart daily, and will not have to search for books at their reading level. Instead, labeled bins will help them find the perfect book!

I'm ready to organize my library for my students!

I just need the appropriate place to store my books. This leveled library mobile storage cart with bins will be the first step in giving my readers the library they deserve!
