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 absolutely love how enthusiastic and curious my students are when it comes to reading. They come into our classroom every day eager to explore new books and stories, and their love for learning is contagious! However, our classroom library is growing rapidly, and staying organized is becoming a challenge. That’s where the storage cubes come in. These bins will allow us to categorize books by genre, author, and topic, making it easier for my students to find books that match their interests and reading level.

Having an organized library will help them make independent choices, encouraging them to read more and discover new books they might not have picked up otherwise.

The storage cubes will also allow me to keep the books in good condition and ensure that all students have access to the resources they need.

My goal is to create a space that’s not only neat but also inviting and easy to navigate so that every student can dive into a new adventure through books. With your support, we’ll be able to continue nurturing their love of reading while making our classroom a more organized and inspiring place for learning.
