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

My eager 5th graders are back to the school building full-time this year. Last school year, some attended in-person one to two times per week while others were fully remote. They haven't been in school full-time for 18 months! Now that we're back together, it's clear how much learning loss has occurred and how difficult it is to transition back to normal.

We can't be strong and sharp if we don't take time to exercise our creative muscles, The hard work of 5th grade means we need time to decompress, too!

My Project

Nothing is better received by a bunch of hardworking 5th graders than the opportunity to take a break from being students and having the opportunity to just be kids.

It's so important that children have the chance to tap into their creative minds.

Not only is it fun, but it provides time to destress and be in the moment. I've seen it many times: work becomes overwhelming, students become overwhelmed, and things go haywire. Having a vast supply of simple, mess-free art materials will allow my students time to focus their mental energy toward something positive!
