Celebrating 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 am currently an art teacher in the Bronx. The young artists are very diverse in their interests and future aspirations. Some of my students are learning to read, write, and count, while some of their classmates are exploring higher levels of art. Our student body fosters a sense of family and inclusion for all. Each day here is a new learning day with opportunity.
We are part of a larger school that accommodates inclusion students as well as those with physical needs.
I teach as a push-in art teacher for the high school. As my young artists explore through art they experiment and practice higher level thinking by utilizing their problem-resolution skills. My classroom is about inclusion and giving all students the opportunity to explore in the arts, as well as discovering through experimentation.
Covid-19 has affected us and to help my artists create art in a safe way I am going to slowly transition to digital art so that they can still feel free to create art.
My Project
Items will help students will special physical disabilities as well as provide art teacher a cart to transition in between classes due to COVID restrictions.
Currently there are two students in wheelchairs who struggle with their current seating arrangements.
Special tables will help them overall in a class setting.
Assistive pencil holders for students who struggle to hold a pencil or need extra weight to be able to write in class.
Finally a small cart so that I can carry the necessary items to and from classes in an efficient manner.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
