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 students must keep up with the latest advancements in special education. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my multi-sensory learners. My special ed students can benefit from arts and crafts supplies by enhancing their creativity, fine motor skills, and self-expression. We plan on using the paint brushes and paint to make special Christmas crafts for my students to take home to their families.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to increase student engagement, but you will ultimately help to improve their emotional well-being.

My students learn in many different ways and they love to participate in craft activities.

Art provides a therapeutic outlet, promoting emotional well-being and reducing stress. Helping my special ed students will allow them to engage in meaningful and inclusive activities, fostering their overall development and creating a positive and inclusive learning environment.
