Art and History Collaboration with Ancient Aztec Culture

Funded Oct 10, 2019

Your donation of the Art in History lesson and project was a hit with my kiddos! It provided so much more than a textbook or video to expand what they already know. It was eye-opening! I love teaching World Cultures, and 6th graders soak up the richness of diverse cultures, especially ones so different from their own. This project came at the perfect time, as we had previsouly compared Aztecs, Incans and Mayans. Giving them a "virtual field trip" on an Aztec holiday, Day of the Dead, was awesome!

Unloading the boxes was very special. The students were impressed with the quality and detail of their products. They loved all the new supplies and the fact their project was theirs to take home!

I cannot express enough my gratitude toward your generous gift! We have just finished our STEM projects of making gingerbread lighthouses which was a collaborative project with their math teacher. We are looking forward in the new year to making masks for them to use in plays they will create based on African folk tales. We are a PK3 - 8th grade campus, so my kiddos are always able to share what they learn to younger grades. Absolutely excited for what is in store for the new decade. You are appreciated!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Martinez
