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
Describing what makes my students special is a question hard to tackle as each individual student possesses unique charm, intelligence, ability, and overall personality. As their teacher, I take great delight in sharing learning and growth as I try to achieve my ultimate goal of creating enthusiastic lifelong learners who work towards achieving to their maximum potential.
My students, in spite of the circumstances that come from growing up in a commonly neglected low socioeconomic community, have the same potential as any other group of children.
In their eyes I witness the brightest of sparks whenever they make a discovery or master a challenging skill. My students have a true and honest desire to not only learn but also to accomplish and become a positive member of their community.
Unfortunately, this potential, spark, and desire is often extinguished by the numerous odds against them as they repeatedly fall victim to their environment. I am saddened by the the massive loss that occurs in our community. I am angered by my inability to change this in the large scale of things. However, my sadness and anger will not stop me from changing this course for at least one little person.
My Project
After Covid shut down on March 2020, my classroom classroom rug was damaged by water and deemed unusable. Rug time is a BIG part of kindergarten. Not only do kids sit for multiple daily lessons, but it also serves as a gathering place where we build community, play, and sometimes rest.
Since the beginning of the school year, it has been very hard to gather together, while also socially distancing for safety.
The rug I chose has rectangles of different colors which will be very helpful for kindergarteners to keep distanced. I miss rug time in my classroom, and my students are missing out of this traditional kindergarten staple. Please help!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
