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

A new and clean classroom rug will make our classroom more inviting for the students. The divided squares on the rug will allow the students to sit in their own spaces and help us with the organization.

This rug will allow us to learn about respecting each other's personal space and boundaries.

Students will be able to learn about colors as they sit in different spaces on the rug.

The rug is the center of our classroom, where we spend most of the day learning new skills and listening to amazing books.

Please help me bring my students a clean area to learn.
