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 am incredibly excited to start my second year of teaching Kindergarten and to continue nurturing the bright and enthusiastic young learners in my classroom. I am so excited to meet my new students who will come to school each day with smiles on their faces and a genuine eagerness to learn.

One area where my classroom could greatly benefit is in having a clean and comfortable rug.

The old rug we currently use has seen better days and no longer provides the welcoming and cozy space we need for our morning meetings, playtime, and story sessions. A new rug would make a significant difference in their learning experience. It will offer them a clean, inviting area to gather, which is crucial for our daily routines and interactive lessons. A fresh, soft rug will help create a more engaging and comfortable environment, making it easier for students to focus and participate.

Our goal with this project is to enhance the classroom environment to better support our students’ learning and well-being. A new rug will help set a positive tone for our day and provide a dedicated space for group activities, storytelling, and relaxation, all of which are key components of our Kindergarten curriculum.

With decreased classroom funds and minimal resources provided by the school, every contribution to our classroom setup makes a tremendous difference. The new rug will not only improve the physical space but also enrich the overall learning experience for my students.
