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

"Just as our eyes need light in order to see, our minds need ideas in order to create." -Nicole Malebranche I would like to enrich my Kindergarten students with needed art supplies, to tap their inner art and writing creativity.

I teach 20 English language learners who reside in a low socioeconomic area in California.

One hundred percent of my class qualifies for free lunch meals. My students are extremely bright and will definitely benefit greatly from various art media and craft supplies since recent district budget cuts have limited art supplies to basic crayons and pencils.

My Project

The art supplies that I requested include dot paints, colored pencils, various ink pads, and glitter glue. These arts and crafts consumables will make a positive impact on my students because they'll be able to express themselves through art. This will motivate them to write about their work of art. Give a Kindergarten student paint, a brush, paper, and glue glitter, and they'll be extremely happy and creative.

Providing art supplies to a Kindergarten class is important because children learn by doing and creating and immersing themselves in colors, paints, and textures.

I would like to see my students take home a collage of art projects from various works and be able to express themselves in writing as well.
