Celebrating 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.
This fall will be my third year teaching fourth grade in a low-income district in Northern California. My class will be comprised of diverse learners, some of who are students with special needs who are fully included and mainstreamed into the general education classroom and 4th grade curriculum. Students who enter fourth grade at my school typically have academic levels ranging from 2nd to 4th grade. Almost all of our students are English Language Learners and qualify for free and reduced lunch. While the work I have done for the past two years is challenging, it is also most rewarding because I have students who truly desire to improve and work hard!
This summer as I've been setting up my classroom and getting ready for my students to come, I've been trying to make our room as beautiful as I can. Many of my students come from chaotic homes and having an organized, aesthetically pleasing room definitely helps my students to focus. One of the ways that I know I can make our classroom a more pleasing learning environment is by having a new classroom rug for my students to sit on. I absolutely love having my students with me on the carpet for various activities--classroom community building activities and meetings, read alouds, content instruction in various subjects and more!
Because my school is a low-income, Title 1 school, we have not had our carpets replaced for probably over a decade and even though they get cleaned, they are still quite dirty and are covered in stains. Thus, it would be so wonderful to have a beautiful classroom rug to cover up the old carpet and to brighten up our room. Additionally, the rug I have requested will help with classroom management as well, as it has designated rectangles for up to 30 students. Thus, each student will have a clearly marked section to sit in!
Your help will ensure that my students have a new classroom rug that will provide a designated place for every student to sit at while on the floor.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
