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

Over the past year, my students have vocalized their wants and needs for more organization in our library. They would appreciate more bins and baskets to organize the library books in addition to making it easily accessible for all students. This project is centered around organization and creating a neat environment for my students. My students have also requested that they would love bookmarks that they can design to hold their place when they are done reading for the day.

My students appreciate the smallest things and having all of their library books organized in baskets is an easier way for them to find them.

All sets are together at last.

These baskets/bins will be create an organize system for the students to find books in a quicker manner and when they are done they can also make a brand new bookmark to use with their books.
