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

As a first year kindergarten teacher in an ICT class (some special ed students, some general ed students), I know we will spend a lot of time teaching students on the carpet. For example: morning meetings, videos, and body/brain breaks can be practiced on a carpet. Therefore, a cozy and fun carpet gets students excited to have a seat and open their minds to learning.

The goal of this carpet is to motivate students to want to come to the carpet and be willing to learn.

With your help, I can make that possible. Please help me make my students excited to learn by making a comfortable environment.
