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

The elementary music room is full of movement and dance. My students need a rug that would allow students to sit comfortably on a the floor.

Having a spacious rug allows students to safely explore movement in dance in the elementary classroom.

It helps establish seating routines and procedures. While explore the elements of movement and dance, it will aid as a point of reference so students can learn and master such concepts as a scatter formation, pathways, and locomotor and nonlocomotor movements.

Gifting us with a carpet will enrich my students musical experience as well as create a warm welcoming environment.
