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

When I arrived to set up my classroom for the new school year, I discovered extensive mold growth on our classroom carpet due to a problem with the HVAC system over the summer. Unfortunately, the carpet could not be saved due to student allergies.

Please provide my students with a new, allergen-free carpet to sit on for Smart Board mini-lessons, class meetings, and indoor recess.

I can't imagine my students having to sit at their desks all day for their lessons. Kids need movement and a change of "place" throughout the day. And indoor recess sitting at your desk is no fun!

Please help return our classroom to the comfy learning place that it was!
