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

I teach in inner city Los Angeles. Our school services students that have extremely diverse backgrounds and have had very different experiences. Our students are also considered to have a very low socio-economic level. Yet we are a very united and spirited school that is always looking for ways to encourage our students love for learning, and help them achieve their best.

My students are curious and eager to learn.

They love to ask questions and get more information. Though the questions might not be content related, my students are always looking for opportunities to grow.

My Project

The materials I am asking for will give my students the opportunity to explore a side that they rarely get to explore, art! Art is an immense of human society, but somehow it gets lost in the educational system. The materials will help me introduce my students to the amazing world of art and creativity. The materials will also help me integrate arts into my lessons into all content areas which help my students be more engaged and be more enthusiastic about learning. The donations to this project will help my students become more intellectually rounded and express their creativity.
