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

Please help me give my students a new rug for reading, learning, cooperating, group work, and so much more. We would love to create a new space to enhance our learning environment. With this new rug, our students will find new ways to work together and grow.

Our students would love a new, clean rug to sit on for different learning activities throughout the day.

They will work in cooperative groups playing math and literacy games together. We will hold our morning meeting and group learning activities in our new space. The children will be excited to have a warm place to sit and learn.

Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom. This rug will help create a beautiful new learning space helping to create community and joy for learning. We cannot thank you enough for caring for our kids and creating a Cozy Place to Learn!
