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

The requested art supplies, specifically vinyl for crafting and decoration, will significantly enhance the students' learning by offering them an engaging, hands-on experience. Vinyl is a versatile material that can be cut, shaped, and applied in various ways, allowing students to explore their creativity through activities such as sticker making, creating decals, and designing unique patterns or images on different surfaces. For students with autism, this tactile, interactive process can help with fine motor skills, concentration, and problem-solving, all while providing a sensory experience that they can control and enjoy. The ability to work with vinyl will also allow them to create personalized items (such as water bottles, bags, or posters) that they can use or take pride in, making their learning more meaningful and functional.

These students are special because of their individual perspectives, sensory needs, and learning styles.

Many of the students have autism, which means they may approach the world in unique ways, such as having heightened sensitivities to certain textures or sounds, or thriving in structured, hands-on learning environments. This project is designed to cater to those specific needs by using materials like vinyl, which is adaptable, easy to handle, and offers a tactile experience that students can control. Their special qualities include their creativity, unique approaches to problem-solving, and the opportunity to learn through art and sensory exploration. This project allows them to celebrate Lunar New Year in a way that feels personalized and empowering, reinforcing their sense of belonging and accomplishment while honoring their distinct learning needs and abilities.
