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 pre-k early childhood special education classroom. My students range in age from 3-5 years old. I am always excited to go to work and teach my students. Everyone is unique, funny, loving, kind, and excited to learn and explore. When I provide them with multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement they always show how creative and intelligent they are. It's amazing how much they can accomplish when they are given the right tools to help them learn in their own unique ways. They enjoy dancing, movement games, art, and hands on activities that provide opportunities to manipulate and explore. Each day is an adventure when I am with my students!
My Project
Carpets are an essential part of a preschool classroom. They provide a safe, soft, welcoming, and warm place to gather, play, learn, and socialize. Carpets also create boundaries and serve as a physical reminder to help students stay in designated areas and promote concentration and learning. The squares on this carpet allows us to designate a space for each student. They take ownership of their square and learn that it is a special place for them to sit and learn.
This carpet will be used as a gathering place for whole group instruction and circle time.
Our classroom carpet will also be used for music and movement time and will reduce slips and falls. The squares help students with spatial awareness when dancing and moving to music.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
