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

Carpet squares will be essential in our classroom because they will allow scholars flexibility to choose where they would like to work in the classroom.

Having the carpet squares will prevent scholars from sitting directly on the floor and having something comfortable to sit on.

The vibrant colors will brighten up our classroom. Sometimes scholars may need to move their seat or work with a different peer or group. These personal carpet squares will allow the flexibility for them to move around in the classroom to work together or perhaps alone.
