Celebrating 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
Help me create a cozy reading corner for my students, featuring a storage bench, an easy-to-reach bookshelf, and a diverse collection of books to foster a love for reading, build emotional awareness, and celebrate different cultures.
This reading corner will include an 8-compartment storage bench that doubles as seating and storage—perfect for maximizing space in our small classroom.
A 5-compartment, child-friendly bookshelf will give my youngest learners easy access to books. I’m also adding a variety of culturally inclusive and social-emotional books to help students see themselves in stories, learn about others, and develop empathy.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
