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 teach bilingual 4th graders, who are eager to learn and do well. Who have a passion for reading and learning English. Having a reading cube on our classroom will make our independent reading space more enjoyable for my students to quietly do independent reading. This reading cube will be an addition to our flexible classroom, as it is one of my goals to give my students a complete flexible classroom in the future. Thank you so much for your support to our classroom. Your generosity is very much appreciated.
