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 carpet will make my classroom much more inviting and comfortable for my students. It will give me the opportunity to resign my students to have their own space on the carpet. This will help my students be more responsible for their actions. It will cause less distractions and will allow them to keep on learning their shapes and colors during centers. We will be doing a lot of group work with shapes and colors throughout the year with this beautiful carpet. This carpet is going to keep my superheroes active while learning.

Mrs. Guardado-Maple Whidby Elementary School Grades PreK-2
