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 a preschool collaborative classroom. I have thirteen typically developing students and five students with special needs: Autistic, Other Health Impaired-ADHD, and Speech-Language Impairments. My school is located in a low-income community where the majority are Latinos from immigrant families and first-generation. Most of my students are English Language Learners. My students are energetic, curious, lovable, and eager to learn. My students enjoy music, books, building, art, and learning through play. However, my program lacks many diverse and instructional tools and materials to engage in their specific needs.

My Project

These art materials (feathers, gems, googly eyes, pom-poms, wooden frames, and bird houses) will help me provide my students with more art opportunities. These art materials will excite my kiddos and help them elaborate their creativity. Our school does not provide these supplies, teachers have to buy them.

Providing these art supplies to our classroom will help my students gain confidence and boost their self-esteem as they complete their projects.

Art provides students with the opportunity to express themselves. As a special education teacher art is a conversation starter. It helps students express themselves as they share what they have created on their own.

In our preschool curriculum we have several studies (clothing, building, pets, reduce, reuse, recycle, trees, and insects). Your donation will help integrate more art activities in our studies. For example, a bird's habitat and how students can provide a home for birds in the city by making their own.
