My students need a new classroom rug! A place for everyone classroom carpet will give my Kindergarten students the personal space they need to learn and play.
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 have been teaching in a Spanish dual-immersion classroom for ten years and absolutely love it! My students amaze me every day! I feel that they teach me just as much as I teach them. Learning and sharing language and culture is a special part of who we are, and allows us to explore and appreciate the world around us with open eyes and hearts.
I feel so fortunate to be a part of a community that strives to be responsible and respectful bilingual citizens who will one day make a positive change in this world.
My Project
In a Kindergarten classroom, the rug is a vital learning space. From community circle and calendar time to read alouds and structured play, students spend a great deal of time on the carpet. A space for everyone classroom carpet allows students to quickly find their learning spot and also facilitates student pair-sharing while learning on the rug.
Kindergarten students need their own personal space to learn on the classroom carpet.
In dual-immersion classrooms, students are constantly interacting with their peers. The colored squares allow them to do so in a structured and effective way thus enhancing student learning. It is an essential for every Kindergarten classroom!
More than half of students from low‑income households
