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.
My Students
I teach a special education class of kinder through fifth graders. My special education program is a blended push-in/pull-out program which means that some students come into my special education classroom and learn in small groups there while other students receive their supports in the General Education classroom while working with their teacher and typically developing peers.
Our school is just blocks away from the site of the tragic shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
Our school is in the most southern part of Silicon Valley with rural and agricultural lands surrounding our school's neighborhood. Our school also has a dual-immersion Spanish/English program which several of my students participate in. My classroom includes students of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
My Project
Any carpet can offer benefits to a classroom beyond the simple asthetics.
Nobody likes sitting on a hard floor.
Carpeting and rugs can offer the option of flexible seating and meeting areas for things like reading. Some classroom carpets are even designed to offer students designated places to sit.
There are a number of noises in the school environment that can interrupt what’s going on in your classroom and distract your students. Hard surfaces like the standard tile floors in many classrooms can reverberate sounds and make a classroom feel loud and echoey. This is especially disruptive for students with attention based disabilities.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
