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

This multi-purpose student carpet will help my students sit comfortably while they listen to stories and participate in whole group discussions. The color squares will provide each of my students with their own personal space.

My students will use the multi-purpose carpet to listen to stories, participate in discussions, and during centers.

They will also use the carpet to learn math concepts such as sorting, graphing, and comparing quantities.

My students deserve a clean comfortable place to sit while they are engaged in learning during whole group instruction and center activities. My students enjoy playing teacher on Fun Fridays. This multi-purpose carpet is what my students need to do this and more!
