Our Heart is Broken

My students need a bright comfortable place to interact with each and the teacher. The carpet is the heart of our classroom. It is where we read, sing, discuss, learn and explore.

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 class is full of thirty energetic Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students in a Charter School setting. We meet together five days a week. All students are encouraged to make personal goals that they work on at school and at home with parents. They love working with technology in our classroom. We celebrate each student as they their personal goals at their own individual pace. My students feel encouraged and supported in our community while contributing to their own learning pathway.

My Project

The carpet is the heart of our room! Right now our heart is broken. We have an old gray shag carpet. The rest of the room is bright and inviting. This solid gray shag rug does not reflect the energy in our room. Besides looking bad, it does not have any way to give my students their own clearly defined space. We read and sing on our carpet. We work independently and in groups on our carpet. We present passion projects on our carpet. We wonder and ask questions about learning on our carpet. It would be so nice to have a vibrate center piece to match the energy of our class.
