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

My students will benefit immensely from a new carpet. A carpet large enough for all students is important as much of our academic learning and sharing takes place on the carpet. Students come to the carpet for whole-group instruction, class meetings and more. Providing my students with a carpet will allow them to have more than enough space to learn comfortably. A new carpet will allow our classroom to come to life and the children will have a magical experience every day. A new carpet would make a difference in the classroom and the children will love to sit and learn on a vibrant new carpet.
