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

My students attend a school in one of the poorest congressional districts in the country in the South Bronx. After the pandemic, our students are back in the building full time! As we continue to close the learning gap in reading, writing and math, we also want to make sure our students engage in creative activities.

We believe in developing the whole child which includes the arts, such as music, dance, physical education and multimedia art.

My Project

Crochet is known to help support the mind, body and soul. Through this creative outlet students will learn how yarn is used to create beautiful handmade items! We will learn to make scarves for ourselves, for loved ones and for those in need! Handmade items are made with love after all!

We know that developing the whole child is best and learning this trade will provide them with a calming task to relax at the end of their day.

Students will be able to take these items home to practice every day.
