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 reading to multiple grade levels, working with some of the most vulnerable readers in our school. These students often struggle with literacy and risk losing confidence in their reading abilities. I want to transform my classroom into a vibrant hub where they can build essential skills and develop a love for books. With this grant, I aim to purchase soft, supportive beanbag chairs to create a comfortable, calming space where students can focus, collaborate, and engage more deeply with reading.

Beanbag chairs will give my students the perfect place to focus and flourish.

This investment in flexible seating is essential for fostering an inclusive and engaging atmosphere that meets diverse learning styles. By giving students the option to choose a comfortable place to read and learn, we empower them to improve focus, enhance reading comprehension, and truly enjoy the reading experience.
