Help me give my students a classroom rug, chair pockets, whiteboards, and tools that support a calm, organized space where they can focus, collaborate, and dream big.

Celebrating 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
My fifth graders are filled with ideas, energy, and a desire to grow as readers and writers. As we implement the American Reading Company (ARC) curriculum, our classroom needs to be a space where students can stay focused, feel calm, and take ownership of their learning.
This project will enable me to create a well-organized and welcoming space that supports both academic success and emotional well-being.
The composition notebook rug will serve as a central gathering spot for read-alouds, partner discussions, and whole-group instruction. Chair pockets will keep books and materials within reach, helping students transition smoothly between ARC tasks and stay engaged throughout the day.
Dry-erase boards will be used during guided instruction and collaborative work, giving students the tools they need to participate actively. A hands-free electric pencil sharpener will keep us running smoothly with fewer interruptions.
To create a peaceful, focused environment, a rotating disco ball diffuser will bring a calming energy to our space. Also, to celebrate our school's motto—Dream Big, Work Hard—marquee letters will proudly display this message and inspire students to bring their best selves to each day.
With your support, we can create a space that encourages reading, writing, and dreaming big—one where students feel confident, prepared, and excited to learn.
More than half of students from low‑income households
