Let's Meet on the Carpet!

Help me give my students an alphabet activity carpet so we can have a soft space where we can gather for our "OWL"star meetings and read-alouds in an inviting and warm environment.

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

I teach extraordinary kindergarten, first, and second grade students with diverse learning needs. Students come into my classroom with an individualized education plan so we can meet their unique needs for success in all areas of their development. With our team we use different strategies so they can reach the curriculum in different ways.

Our classroom learns from one another, accepts our differences, and encourages each other.

Together we learn and grow from one another. Our classroom is filled with unique abilities and personalities that allow us to accept and recognize our differences that make us special.

My students are "OWL"stars! They want to learn and be engaged. The environment provided for them gives them a place to feel safe, confident, and know it's okay to learn from mistakes. They are excited to show their new skills. We are a community of Learners that encourage and help each other. I am proud to be their teacher and hope to inspire them in their continued success!

My Project

My students inspire me every day! After more than year students are returning back into the classroom. Our classroom needs a soft space that we can gather to have our “OWLstar” meetings. We gather daily for morning meeting, social check-ins, role-playing, read-alouds, and large and small group instruction. The classroom alphabet activity carpet will allow us to gather as a group and still socially distance in defined spaces on the carpet. It will create an inviting space that students will be excited to join and be a part of.

Giving students a choice of where they can sit or move around motivates them and keeps them engaged.

The alphabet seat spots will allow for flexible seating and movement throughout the day to meet as a small group or work independently creating a defined work space. This will allow students to work together and move around the room as needed. Students become restless from sitting at their desks and this will provide them with a way to stretch out and find a comfortable space to work at.

I am looking forward to seeing my students in person and with your help provide them an inviting space to work and move around in. I am excited to see them learn and grow this school year!
