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
My class is full of thirty, energetic, Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and Kindergarten students in a charter school setting. Our school includes grades from TK to sixth grade. We meet together five days a week. All students are encouraged to make personal goals that they work on at school and at home with parents. They love working with technology in our classroom. We celebrate each student as they achieve their personal goals at their own individual pace. My students feel encouraged and supported in our community while contributing to their own learning pathway.
My Project
Our class has a small area we call the library. My students are welcome to go sit down with giant pillows to read books in our classroom library.
We need a new, very bright carpet in our library that catches their eye as they enter the room.
I want them to want to read. A new carpet will help them want to investigate that area of our classroom and encourage them to look at the books that are there for them to read.
We want our library to be the most used area in our room. The new carpet will keep my kiddos comfortable as they discover reading in our library.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
