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

I teach Spanish levels 1 and 2 at a Title I school in the San Fernando Valley. I always look for different strategies to incorporate in my classroom to increase student engagement. One of the things I continue to incorporate in my lessons include art projects. Students enjoy creating art that is connected to the standards because it is a way for them to express themselves. In my class, we create self-portraits when we learn about the Hispanic culture, specifically about Frida Kahlo and her art. Students also draw creatures when they learn body parts amongst other things.

These beautiful projects require the use of colored pencils and markers.

Every year I go through many pencils and colored pencils/markers because over 120 students use them on a weekly basis. For this project I am asking for your support to receive donations to purchase pencils and color pencils which will allow my students to continue engaging and expressing themselves though art in their World-Language Classroom.
