Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

My TK students attend many outdoor assemblies and spend a lot of time learning outside. Right now the students sit on a blanket that isn't very thick. These carpet circles will give the students a comfortable place to sit that is all their own. The carpet circles will be easy to carry and store when not in use.

The boys and girls will be able to enjoy learning outdoors.

They will be able to use them during silent reading, science, and garden time. The boys and girls love going outside and this will allow them to do it more often.
