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

Having a new carpet in the classroom will give my students room to grow and explore everyday math activities. This carpet will be used during large group activities such as morning meetings, stories, science experiments, music and math exploration.

When students have flexible seating such as a large carpet, they can move and reenact stories during library time, experiment with engaging science experiments, and stretch into electrifying movement and music activities.

By contributing to our project, you will provide comfortable seating and room for amazing adventures for our 18 wonderful and outstanding students.
