Help me give my students a beautiful, new library, where they will fall in love with reading! They need bookcases, comfy seating, and storage baskets.

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
My students live in a rural, desert community in Arizona. They are a very diverse group. Most of my students live at or below the poverty level and have not had access to educational resources. They are fun kids who are excited and eager to learn. About 1/3 of my class are English Learners. My students range from readers to little ones who have never held a pencil or crayon. I love their little personalities and watching them grow their minds throughout their year.
It is said that "A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessities of life." I would love to build a library that excites the students, is comfortable, and is functional.
I plan to organize the books in a way that will allow students to explore new interests and/or to find just the right book for them. The new shelves will help with organization. My students will be able to read stories to book buddies that I will add to the large bucket. The bean bags will provide some comfortable seating options.
Covid has impacted us in so many ways. For the two years, we have struggled to give that solid kinder foundation. I am hoping the items I am requesting will help the class learn to be social while falling in love with reading. The classroom library was closed all during coved and I am ready to open it up and teach them library skills in small groups. We have kept the students safe and separate, and it is nice to start getting the students back together to be social in their education again.
More than half of students from low‑income households
