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

My school is a Title I, at-risk school, with a population of over 70% of English Language Learners.

This is my fourth year teaching kindergarten.

My students to come to school to laugh, learn, be loved, and to eat a healthy meal.

Our school provides 100% free breakfast and lunch for our students. We are working very hard to accomplish our dreams, goals, and, most importantly, graduating from college and becoming successful. Kindergarten is the foundation that prepares kids for the rest of their lives! College graduating class of 2038, here we come!

My Project

Our classroom is a beautiful place where amazing things happen every day. Students come into this classroom from every walk of life imaginable. Upon walking into the classroom, you will see a diverse group of students who share the same love for school and friendship.

While all the students are so amazingly different, they all share a strong desire for learning and success.

These children strive for greatness every day, regardless of where they come from. Some children come from a family living in poverty and some from a country they moved from only days ago. No matter what, they are strong and resilient children who work hard every day to do well and learn to the best of their ability.

Students will each have a personal and comfortable space for morning meeting and whole group lessons. This classroom rug can also be a cozy spot for students to stretch out, lay on their tummies, and enjoy a good book during independent reading!

Students spend hours and hours in the classroom and it should be comfortable and well structured.

Without a rug, children currently have to sit on a tile floor for lessons! Having this rug will create a warmer, more inviting space for learning.
