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

My students are kindergartners-2nd graders from the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan. Many of them have been diagnosed with Autism, and the main goal of therapy is creating positive social experiences for them in a safe space. What better way to do this than through art!

My students have expressed lots of interest in making crafts, so I'd love to give them the supplies they need to explore this.

With the supplies on this list, we can make glitter jars, paintings, collages, Perler beads, Play-Doh creations, and more. We'll be busy all year!

This project will reach underserved students one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse neighborhoods of NYC. Thanks for helping me give these kids the tools they deserve!
