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 Students

I have 18 wonderful third graders in my classroom. They are all working on solving problems, showing respect, and making good decisions. They love hands-on learning and participating in engaging activities.

My students come to school excited and ready to learn each day.

My students come from a low poverty, rural area. They have dealt with things in their lives that most adults haven't experienced. No matter what, they still come to school eager to learn and do their best.

My Project

My classroom rug was destroyed over the summer, and my students are currently sitting on tiled floor. They sit on the floor multiple times a day for 10-15 minutes at a time. They are quickly uncomfortable, and it disrupts their learning.

My students have asked for cushions to sit on to replace our seating issue.

I am requesting 4 crates of KinderMats for my students. Each student will have a mat to sit on during our whole group instruction. The cushions will allow students to sit comfortably on the floor and their learning will not be disrupted.

Thank you for helping my students and my classroom.
