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
I am requesting a new carpet for my classroom so my students can meet comfortably as a whole group. The current carpet we have is old and bit too small for our growing bodies.
The new carpet will not only allow us to meet as a whole group, but it will give us the additional space to spread out during our independent reading time.
Students can sit or lie down comfortably while reading their favorite book, work together in small groups, or on occasion when we celebrate our fantastic first grade behavior with a popcorn and movie party.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
