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

This is my first year teaching and I would love to have a safe learning space for my students. I have learned many benefits of using a rug in the classroom.

-A rug provides a designated area where students can sit comfortably during group activities, story time, or discussions.

It helps create a cozy and inviting space that encourages students to gather and participate.

-A rug can help ensure that all students, including those who might be less comfortable sitting on hard floors, feel included in group activities. It helps foster a sense of community and equality in the classroom.

-A designated rug area can make learning more engaging by providing a clear space for interactive lessons and activities. It helps students focus by creating a dedicated space for specific tasks or lessons.

-A colorful and well-designed rug can add visual interest to the classroom, making the space more vibrant and welcoming for students. This can help in creating a positive and stimulating learning environment.

I truly appreciate and I'm grateful for all the help you're doing to help make this world a better place.
