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 kindergartners sit on the carpet for stories and lessons everyday, but the carpet we have is too small. It is also old and probably not too clean anymore. In fact, the carpet we have is from when our school first opened and it has never been replaced!

My students are five years old.

They come from working class families and live in an urban part of New York. Everyday they come to school excited and eager to learn. For some of them, this is their first time ever in school. Many of them need a lot of practice learning to read, write and count. Our school is a really wonderful place, but due to our budget being cut year after year we don't have any money to replace or buy new things. My students' parents are really involved in the school, but they do not have the ability to raise funds for us either.

My Project

We really need a new rug for our meeting area. A bigger rug would allow the children to gather together for lessons and to sit comfortably instead of being squished! It would also be so much more welcoming and exciting to meet on a bright clean carpet. We meet on the rug for lesson is reading, writing, math, and science everyday! I will be able to use this rug for many years to come with my future classes.

Kindergarten is such an important grade.

It is the foundation for a child's academic career. A basic necessity like a comfortable place to sit and learn is something every child deserves. You can impact the learning of students for years to come by simply giving them a new rug.
