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 Project

My kindergarten students love to create things and explore with art mediums. They look forward to our Visual Art lessons and every time they complete a new art piece they are eager to start the next piece. They take so much pride in displaying and talking about their work.

In order to create art that they can reflect on, my students need art-making materials such as play dough, dot paints, markers, watercolors, tempra paint sticks as well as paper and brushes so they can have what they need to begin.

These art-making supplies will be a wonderful addition to my classroom. My young students will be able to use these resources to help them express themselves as well as also working on their fine motor skills. My students are very special in every way. Please help me give my students the materials they need in order to create art and work on their fine motor skills. In the end I'm guiding them to discover the significance and value of art in their lives. They will realize that they are all artists.
