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 Project

An absolute necessity for teaching little ones is the ability to meet somewhere other than a desk or table. A place where community is built and connections are made. That's where the rug comes in!

Our classroom rug is a place where we are transported to another world through engaging read alouds, an area where we play games, connect through community circles, and so much more!

My students need a rug where they can feel comfortable and have plenty of personal space. By donating to my project, you will ensure that 24 curious minds have the space they need to discover, learn, and play!
