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 Students

We are a 2nd grade special education classroom and we are full of love and charismatic personalities! My students laugh, play, care and give to one another with every moment that they can. They enjoy coming to school and are very enthusiastic to learn and make themselves better people each day. However, my students face many adverse circumstances every day. Most of my students live in shelters, city housing developments, and foster care. While living in these types of urban communities, most of my children come to school hungry, without proper sized clothing or school supplies. Most of our scholars read, write and compute at a kindergarten level.

My students are still resilient to the adversity that they face every second of their lives.

They come to school with loving arms, and willing to learn something new each day. With all that happens to them emotionally, physically, and socially, my students still want to come to school and make new friends, run around the playground, and be happy and loving.

My students value community, and understand the meaning of working together. They know that working as a team, makes dreams happen and can get you further ahead in life.

My Project

This project will help provide my scholars the opportunity to sit more comfortably on the rug. Currently, our classroom has a 5'x7' indoor/outdoor rug that was bought from a nearby hardware store. I noticed that the scholars have difficulty sitting comfortably for more than 7 minutes on the rug.

The goal is to allow my students to learn without thinking about how uncomfortable they feel!

This rug will tremendously help my students focus on the lesson at hand and enable them to participate easily. The current rug is impeding their ability to focus and is causing them to become distracted.

Therefore, if this project is funded, I will be able to accommodate my students with a more comfortable rug so that they can not only sit comfortably, but also to pay more attention to the lesson being taught at that moment.
