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 students are learning in two languages as part of our school Spanish Dual Language Program. The goal is for them to graduate bilingual and biliterate from high school regarding of their English or Spanish language skills entering kindergarten.

We start our day with a circle time, a classroom meeting for an opportunity to share feelings, emotions and more.

This is the most important time of our day, when we build our classroom community one day at a time. The book box set of A Little Spot will help us learn about emotions and feelings in a fun and engaging way.

Our current rug is too small for all of us to sit on it, and it makes it challenging to feel part of a community when we are not all on it. The classroom carpet I am requesting will provide enough space for all of us to sit and share with each other. The carpet will also be our main place to engage in our circle time and will be use during our daily Spanish phonic lessons, science, social studies, and so much more.

It may seem insignificant, but the right size rug will help my students have a place where they can learn, stay focus, feel connected, make friends, become readers and writers and so much more.
