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

Everyday I am graciously greeted by 23 hardworking first graders. Working at a Title I school has proved to have many challenges. Some students walk into my classroom knowing zero English, or some were unable to sleep the night before because they share a bed with multiple siblings. Despite the many challenges they face at home, they are always eager to learn, share, and work cooperatively together.

It makes me such a proud teacher to see them achieve greatness.

I am so honored to walk into my classroom everyday and help foster independent learning as well as positive classroom collaboration.

My Project

As a first grade teacher, it is just as important to promote learning as it is to promote classroom community! First graders are always on the move and we spend a majority of our day on the carpet! On the carpet we read, share, and play! This 120 Chart Area Rug will help promote all of those things. Students will be able to sit individually on a number spot, giving each student personal space. They will also have room to share ideas and sit comfortably to read a story.

Number sense is a huge foundation in first grade, and the 120 Chart Area Rug will enhance that foundation.

This rug won't just be used for sitting but also for different number sense games!
