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

I teach at a low-income community of Texas, bordering Mexico, where my students are English Language Learners. They face many challenges such as dyslexia, special needs, and are socioeconomically disadvantaged, but that does not stop them from dreaming big. Nevertheless, my students are creative, full of excitement, and thoughtful!

My Project

Students will create free art when participating in a small group. This self-created free art reflects their inner creativity and helps develop a sense of accomplishment. When children are creating art they are working on so many skills. Children are able to develop numerous age-appropriate developmental skills while creating! Students increase fine motor skill development, cognitive skill development, self-help skills, and emotional development all while playing. When students are able to explore their creativity there are numerous ways to have teachable moments while students are simply having fun! I hope that through this project we are able to inspire a future generation of learners.
