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

The materials listed on this project will stock up our art center with all the essentials necessary to allow our students to explore a variety of art tools. Students in my classroom are working towards developing and strengthening their writing development. Not only will they have fun expressing themselves through art but they will also have the ability to chose from a variety of tools. Students in my classroom beenfti from prewriting activities which are fundamental to writing development. Playdough is a classroom favorite and supports the development of their small finger muscles.
