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

My students need a rug to come together on as a class family. We need a space to share, learn and create. I want to have an inviting place designated in the class that our "class family" can come together learn and feel safe to share ideas.

We need this rug to help us become a class unit and family.

The rug will allow us a clean space to call our own and to stay organized, learn together, and value each other. This will be the space we can feel safe to take chances, and respect and value each other.
