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 love my student’s personalities. They are sweet, loving, full of humor, and love to give hugs! They walk in every morning and greet me first with hugs, love, and stories. They can’t wait to tell me about their day, weekend, or up and coming trips. They are motivated to learn and take pride in their work. I am extremely organized and have taught them to be that way as well in the classroom. They question my every move and I love explaining to them why I do what I do. They are very conversational and it makes for great entertainment. I love to make jokes with them and exchange stories. I come up with cute little nicknames for them and they adore it.

My Project

I am currently teaching in a classroom that does not have an area for students to congregate. Having a designated carpet seating area in my classroom will create a cohesive place for my students to gather, bond, listen to stories, and learn.

A designated carpet area will make the classroom feel more inviting and cozy.

It will add style, color, and comfort to an already happy, intellectual environment. I chose the color blue because it is calming, which will help students realx and focus on learning. The students will have designated spots on the carpet which will allow for maximum learning and sharing.
