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 fifth grade students are eager learners with diverse cultural backgrounds. Many of my students are English language learners who bring enthusiasm and curiosity to every task, even the challenging ones. I work with many newcomers to the United States who have endured great obstacles to be here. It humbles me to see how much they value education and how they strive to succeed in a new land, language, and culture.

We perceive diversity as a strength to be harnessed and nurtured.

In my classroom, we often design lessons and activities around an inquiry model, so that all students are exposed to rigor. At the same time, they can access content in meaningful ways.

At our school, we believe that a collaboration of families, teachers, and students is what makes our community resilient. We are always learning and evolving in our practices.

My Project

Help my students develop their artistic talents and express their feelings through art. We are a trauma-informed school and we recognize the ways that our students have been affected by the disruptions of the past year.

Drawing time is transforming my 5th grade classroom, but we need supplies.

One of the practices we started since returning to in-person learning is putting some time aside for free drawing or sketching. I have seen how just giving them a little time each day to sketch and draw has created a safe space, and helped them process the complex emotions imposed on them by the pandemic. I have noticed a transformation in my classroom! Students are learning to express themselves in ways that I have not seen before. Drawing time has also increased their writing stamina because they use their visual representations to write.

Your donation will motivate them to produce more art and will support their creativity and well-being by providing them with authentic art supplies. Help my students embrace their artistic self-expression, process their feelings, and explore new mediums to make their ideas come alive.
