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

Hello Everyone,

As I prepare for my first year of teaching, I’m filled with excitement and hope to create a warm, welcoming space where my students feel safe, inspired, and ready to learn.

One item I would love to provide for my classroom is a large, beautiful rug—a cozy spot for reading, learning, morning meetings, and building our classroom community.

Unfortunately, as a first-year teacher, I don’t yet have all the classroom essentials. If you’d like to help me give my students this special space, I’ve added a rug to my classroom wishlist. Any support, whether sharing, donating, or simply cheering me on, means the world.

Thank you for helping me build a classroom full of comfort, curiosity, and care!
