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 Preschool students enjoy being creative. This project will give them the necessary materials to be able to create their own works of Art. In my classroom, we have a variety of diverse students who range from 3-5 years old. Each and every one of them love Art projects. The collage materials, and paints will help them to strengthen the muscles in their fingers and hands. The drying rack will give the students a place to put their creations. My students enjoy creating Art, and having the ability and the tools to be creative brings them joy.
