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 are resilient, energetic, and talented kindergartners with a heart of gold. They have survived a pandemic and are coming into school this year with excitement and energy, ready to take on this world that will one day be theirs.
The odds are stacked against my students as they are special needs, some with very high behavioral and social/emotional issues, but that isn't stopping them from reaching for the stars and beyond.
In my classroom, 12 out of the 15 students have been diagnosed with special needs and have IEPs in the classroom. That doesn't deter them, though. Their ambition, kindness, and talent never cease to amaze me, and with the right tools, nothing will stand in their way.
My Project
In kindergarten, we spend a lot of time learning together at the carpet. My students utilize the carpet to learn ELA, writing, and math before breaking into smaller groups during center time.
However, we currently have 2 very small rugs for them to sit at, and with a number of my students having individual behavioral therapists with them during the day, our rug gets very crowded very fast.
My hope for this rug is for each of my students to have their own personal space to not only sit, but move around if they need to without getting into someone else's space. This rug would also be big enough for each of my students to have that needed space and for the students who need behavioral support to have enough space for their person to sit next to them and work with them as well.
