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

Kindergarten is the foundation of a child's education and it's my job to make them love coming to school. I work in a Title I school with a very diverse population. These children enter school with a variety of abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Although some children are from broken homes, others come from stable families. My students are 4 and 5 years old, they are eager to learn and work hard every day to read, write and do whatever is asked of them. I have been teaching Kindergarten for 15 years and there is nothing I would rather do. Although at times it's a lot of work, the reward in the end is great!

My Project

Working with young children a lot of magic happens on the carpet. We spend a lot of time listening to stories, reading, singing, dancing, working in both large and small groups there. In our classroom we have two main meeting spots and one is a carpet that is 15 years old. Although the carpet is cleaned, I'm sure you can imagine how 15 years with 5 year olds looks (there have been many accidents and spills).

My students deserve to have an appealing and comfortable place to sit and learn.

This carpet will serve not only this years class but classes for years to come.
