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

The students in my classroom come from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

My students are underprivileged and come from a high poverty community, but that doesn't take away the smiles from their faces.

My first grade students are amazing and love to learn new things each day. I would love them to have a carpet and bean bags to sit on and create a more enjoyable and comfortable learning enviroment.

My Project

My students are currently sitting on a dingy, hand-me down carpet that is falling apart. At times students get distracted by playing with the loose threads on the rug. In my classroom the rug is used various times throughout the day. I use it for modeling my mini lessons, guided reading, guided groups, and for independent reading.

Once we have this new colorful carpet and bean bags the classroom will be more colorful and inviting for my students.

They will be more excited and focus on their learning, not pulling threads from an old rug. Students will have a more comfortable area to enjoy their favorite books and will have a clean meeting area to sit during a wonderful read aloud.
