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 is my first year at this school and my classroom needs a rug! A rug is the center of our kindergarten class. It is where we gather to learn, to grow and interact. It allows each student to have their own space and be a part of our class family.

It is crucial for us to get this for our room and would mean the world to us if you could help us get this.

This rug will allow us to meet all together at the front of room!
