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

I have the privilege of teaching art at a Title I middle school in the South Bronx. Our school is a high poverty/low-income school with 98% of students receiving free lunch, 25% of students receiving Special Education services, and 26% are ESL students. Despite the many challenges they face, 224 students are ambitious and curious artists and scholars.

Our school does not have an art room, so we need bins and boxes to keep our materials and work organized.

As all teachers know, organization and structure are crucial elements to success in the classroom!

My Project

Our school does not have an art room, so all of our artworks and materials are in paper bags and old boxes in classrooms where instruction takes place. This is both unattractive and inefficient.

My students deserve to learn and create in a beautiful setting.

Plastic bins are so much neater looking than bags or cardboard boxes. Bins throughout our school will keep everything organized. The bins will be labeled, kids will quickly be able to see what is in them, and they'll live happily in the classrooms where students have art. This kind of effective organization will allow for students to spend less time looking for work and supplies and more time creating!
