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

"A place for everything, and everything in its place." -Benjamin Franklin- Working hands-on with a group member, sitting attentively for a good read aloud, listening to a mini-lesson... These are all activities that are done on a classroom carpet where so much learning happens.

I teach second grade with a class size of 28 excited and determined students!

My students know each other very well, since most of them have been together since kindergarden. They enjoy class and look forward to coming to school and learning. We are a very diverse class that includes 17 English Language Learners. The ethnicity is our room ranges from Hispanic/Latino, White, African American, Asian, and Pacific Islander. More than 80% of students at our school receive free or reduced-price lunch. We live in South Seattle, Washington.

My Project

I am requesting a classroom carpet. With this carpet, my students will finally have their own personal space when we meet on the floor. My students can spread out during independent reading, work on group projects, and have rug spots to sit at during mini-lessons and whole-group instruction. Students are often better able to concentrate when sitting at the rug for read alouds. A carpet also offers alternative seating arrangements for students who require varied learning environments. A classroom rug creates more space to discover, build community, play, and share.

I want my classroom to feel like a safe and fun place to learn.

My students look forward to moving around during different lessons. I want them to be comfortable and know they have personal space on a nice, colorful rug.
