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 donate to our project to get a new classroom carpet that is big enough for all of us to sit, share, and learn. As a Montessori classroom, we like to take control of our education through exploration and often work independently. A new classroom carpet will create a comfortable atmosphere where we can have morning meetings, read-aloud, play, and more together. Our current classroom carpet is old, plain, and grey. Our carpet does not have any design or numbers and the students often forget where they sit. A new carpet can also provide a cushioned surface for students to sit, lay, and play on, and can make them feel more relaxed. Lastly, a new rug will not only brighten up the classroom, but it will also create a stimulating and colorful learning environment.

We genuinely appreciate your contribution to our project!
