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

This is a first-grade integrated co-teaching class in East Elmhurst, Queens. There are 25 students in our classroom. Some of the children in this class have special needs and most of the children in my class speak English as a second language. Their biggest challenge is to communicate with others and express their ideas clearly. I know that if my kids were given the opportunity to utilize art materials such as paint, crayons, markers, glue, etc. they can express themselves through their creations. Art speaks in all languages. It allows the children to feel comfortable sharing their work. I feel art should be incorporated regularly into our curriculum.

Art projects get my children super enthusiastic.

They don't have an art class in our school. These students have gotten used to sharing crayons out of a table caddy. Crayons are constantly broken and lost and they are missing colors. I believe that having access to a rainbow of colors will promote their creativity. A lot of my students have never painted before. We will use these materials when responding to literature. Students can paint to show a favorite part of the story. In science, we go on nature walks and observe the world around us. These art supplies will enhance their science projects.

I think it's important to create an environment that is bright and colorful. If my students love to make different projects, they will feel proud when they are hanging up in the classroom. I want the kids to love coming into their beautifully, decorated classroom.
