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

My students are wonderful and eager to learn. However, many of them have not been dealt the easiest hand of cards. All of my students live at or below the federal poverty line and have tough lives that have forced them to grow up quickly. From working multiple part-time jobs to help their family to growing up in the foster care system, life has not been easy for many of them.

Despite these disadvantages, they are still so sweet, caring, and enthusiastic to learn.

They are creative and innovative, and just need an environment to help them grow.

My Project

My students have gone through so much with the pandemic, not having access to Chromebooks or adequate resources, and not being able to go to the sanctuary of school.

I need these items to incorporate the healing nature of art into my projects.

This will promote expression and make them more engaged and connected to our lessons while giving them room to express themselves and connect to the content more easily.

We are going to use art to study Latinx artists, recreate art, explore our identities, and celebrate lovely Hispanic customs through art.
