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 project is aimed at getting a new rug for our classroom.

My students spend a lot of the day on the floor.

The carpet is where they learn best! Currently, we have sit spots that are not doing the job!

We are hoping to start the new year with a new rug. This rug would allow comfort when having whole group discussions. It would help the classroom feel more welcoming, and provide each kid their own home base! This rug could also be used for alternative seating throughout the day.
