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 Students

Please help the amazing students at my elementary gain the resources they need to meet their learning potential. They require many hands-on materials, as well as materials to engage them through different modes of instruction. Please help these bright students reach their absolute maximum potential by donating to our class projects! Any little bit helps! Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity, you are supporting our students to do great things!

My Project

My students have art class once on an eight day cycle, which is hindering their creative minds. These watercolor paints as well as multicultural markers would be used frequently in our class for the students to have the ability to creatively express themselves through art. The students can also use these materials within content areas such as literacy and phonics. The students will write sight words as well as their name and numbers. On days that we do not have specials, I will use these materials to teach other grade appropriate art skills to the students.
