My students need reading space accents such as bean bags, book boxes, and a table to contribute to their building of the live long learner culture.

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 Students
Our students are brilliantly resilient scholars who come from immigrant, blue collar working households close to downtown LA. Many of them attend school year round to catch up on reading and writing skills. These students tirelessly work toward fluency in English while continuing to persevere through the struggles of their community. The culture we are promoting at our school is college readiness through the use of AVID strategies such as physical organization, note taking and paraphrasing. Students show up everyday ready to tackle the days objectives and build community with one another.
My Project
As adults, we are granted many choices in life but as kids, sometimes we forget they like a little choice as well. I am in great need of bean bags, a leveled book sorting cart, and book boxes to organize my room in a way where students get to select their leveled book as well as their reading nook. A classroom environment should be an inviting place where students feel at home and begin to build their habits for every day life. These materials will greatly contribute to the foundation of reading being a daily habit we engage in for pleasure and insight and not for a grade.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
