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

When you join my classroom, you become family. My students possess beautiful strengths and aspire to make the world a better place. Our classroom is our home away from home. With this project, I hope to surprise my students with a beautiful new rug so they feel comfortable and excited to learn.

My special education students deserve a safe and clean environment to learn and grow!

Our last carpet was over 10 years old and was getting harder and harder to clean well so we had to throw it away. This carpet will increase safety in my classroom for students just learning how to walk and for other students who have frequent seizures. A beautiful new carpet will help them feel grounded and peaceful in an often chaotic setting. We play and learn on the floor, a lot! I am excited to make this project a reality and continue to make a difference, however small, in my students' lives.
