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
My fourth grade classroom in Ohio is comprised of approximately forty-two amazing students, many of whom come from bilingual households and receive free breakfast and lunch.
It is important to me that my students are afforded a classroom environment which promotes learning and well-being.
The learning environment that I hope to create for my students is one that inspires them to succeed and supports them every step of the way. My students come to school each day often bringing their home lives with them. I spend a great deal of time throughout the year, creating a strong sense of classroom community. My students not only rely on me to support them in their learning and serve as a positive role model in their lives, but they have come to rely on one another through the positive relationships they have formed. Our school receives Title I funding and the entire school is eligible for free breakfast and lunch. The students come to school eager to learn and are from various living situations. Such situations include single parents, foster homes, homeless shelters, or extended family living. I am dedicated to meeting their needs daily, along with building their self-esteem and confidence.
My Project
A classroom rug will help create a inviting place for students to sit on the floor while learning, working and sharing. My students spend a great deal of time on the floor throughout the day (morning meeting, mini-lessons, partner reading, STEM collaboration, etc.)
A cozy, colorful, durable, and quality area rug is what my students need to make their learning environment comfortable.
This rug will create a healthy, happy environment where they can stay focused to explore new things. Not only will you be helping them with a place to focus and get ready to work, but you will also help them expand their academic knowledge.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
