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

Happy New Year everyone! The students are having so much fun creating art and working on new projects. We're very excited and are looking forward to the upcoming art show in the spring. We have to prepare and could really use some new materials. I'm proud of the children and the progress they have made. They're enjoying the creative process and I hope to continue to inspire them. It's so rewarding to see how much they look forward to learning and making art with their friends. I hope to have an amazing rest of the year!
