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

My middle school and junior highschoolers adore art making when it has emphasis on two-dimensional applied design. Through ELA, with cross curriculum objectives and aims, they get inspired by creative writing. School community is enhanced when art lessons are in calligraphy and our projects need to incorporate the proper pens, inks, and paint. Portfolio development toward digital wellness will culminate with pics we take for our website of sensational student centered writing, public service announcements, grade team mottos, school spirit anthems, and educational learning objectives. This project can help them in application for specialized, arts highschools thereafter.
