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

Children's Detective Books are getting my reluctant readers to devour books. This project will allow students to create custom cutting boards and back scratchers to engage in art within our literacy block. After reading these new books, we will create a custom collection of artwork to gather various ideas to use to decorate our custom cutting boards & back scratchers, ultimately.

Creating works of art inspired by books allows students to express their creativity, and the custom cutting boards & back scratchers will engage students in the creation of a forever work of art for families to treasure.

Please help me integrate art into our literacy block with this Graphic novel-inspired art project. I hope you will consider helping me improve the future.
