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 3 to 5 years old and love being artistic and expressing themselves creatively! Many students enjoy visiting the art center where they can draw or create things using their imagination. When they visit the art center, they are excited to show their teachers many of the wonderful things they created while working there. They beam with excitement when they take their projects home to show their parents. They enjoy playing in the sand area where they can use the kinetic sand and build things. My students are very creative!
