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 Students

My students are a loving, caring and accepting group of first graders, that strive to do their personal best. They work hard at being respectful, responsible, fair and trustworthy; a motto we as a school go by every day.

Despite the challenges we are still facing during this pandemic, my students are a resilient bunch and love to make our classroom feel more like a home.

Every morning they enter the doors of the school excited to be at school. They are excited to be with their friends and around all the amazing teachers and staff. They love to help one another, and consider our class to be like family.

My Project

A classroom rug is a vital tool to have in a first grade classroom. Not only does it provide a warm and welcoming classroom. But it also provides an area where my students can sit next to one another and share their thoughts and stories. It will provide them the space and comfort they need while learning various content areas such as Reading, Math, Science and Fundations.

Because of Covid-19, the classroom rug we were supposed to have was damaged while in storage, and we currently sit on a tile floor during our lessons and circle time.

During our lessons, we have a hard time sitting still and find ourselves slipping around more than we would if we had a nice comfy carpet to sit on. But if we had a carpet to sit on, we may feel more relaxed and ready to learn!
