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

As a first-grade teacher, I am committed to provide a comfortable, safe, and engaging learning environment. It will support their growth, comfort, and success in a nurturing and stimulating environment including students with disabilities.

A carpet in the classroom will make a huge difference in my students' learning.

*Comfort and safety; more comfortable for students to sit on the floor during activities such as story time or group activities.

*Interactive learning and defined spaces; carpets are designed with educational patterns such as alphabet, number, shapes, colors and maps. It also will help to delineate different areas such as reading area, it also aids in classroom management.

*Increased safety; it provides a non-slip surface, reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. It can reduce the severity of injuries.

*Interactive learning; serve as interactive teaching tool, enhancing learning through visual aids and floor-based activities.

* Enhance collaboration and social interaction; encourage group activities and collaborative learning.

* Better classroom management; it can define boundaries and organize the classroom making easier for teachers to manage students' activities and transitions between tasks.

As a teacher, my goal for my students for this school year is to provide a carpet for our classroom which will support my students' academic success and overall development.

The new school year is upon on us, gathering all the material for my students, including a carpet, will help them to success this new school year. For previous experience having a carpet in the classroom, students showed significant improvement in their academic performance and participated actively in discussions and group activities. Engaged in hands-on activities and stimulated their curiosity and imagination. Demonstrated good behavior, respect for others and a positive attitude towards learning and their peers. It helped with classroom management, students consistently followed classroom rules and worked well in teams.
