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.

Please help me add a little creativity to my classroom! All I have for art projects are construction paper and glue that the children have brought from home. In the words of one of my girls, "BORING!" My students rarely get to do art projects and I would love to allow them more ways to express themselves. We love to do projects for social studies and science. By adding hands on projects, my students can see these units come alive. Therefore, I am requesting some paint, paint brushes, clay, glitter, beads, markers and could always use lots of crayons. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
