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

Hi! I am a new, first year teacher. I was hired in January, 2024. As a first year teacher, I do not have many items, including decor. I would really like this rug as it would help our classroom in many ways. This rug would be used for circle and reading time! It would show our students kindness with a gentle reminder to be kind to others, which I believe is very important. I love the idea of this rug because it brings kids together in a positive aspect. We currently do not have a rug or any decor. I am trying to slowly bring in a caring and nurturing vibe into the room so that every student that walks in, knows that they are loved and cared about in mine and their peers presence.
