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.

I teach a second grade special education bilingual class in a high-need community school in the Bronx, NY.

This year, my students do not have any artistic periods in which to express themselves. As a result I keep seeing doodles all over their notebooks and I have 2-3 children who hum or sing when they should be reading or working independently. They are a big distraction to the other children who are able to work quietly and I think it is because they lack time to express themselves in artistic ways.

I would love to be able to give these children time to work on their own individual artistic expression. This would be time (probably as a closing activity on Fridays) that they can have to draw, paint, put collages together, and reinforce skills learned in science and math (for example, the "Create your own Calendar" materials would reinforce math skills and the "Insect Shapes Project Kit" would reinforce an upcoming unit we will have on insect life cycles). I will also use these materials to reinforce their social studies skills - e.g. creating their own flags.

Donor, These children need art just as much as they need math and literacy. Your support will help these children have some time to express themselves in positive ways while learning more about math and science. Thank you!
