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 3rd and 5th-grade elementary students are thriving with in-person art instruction in a post-pandemic world after 2 years of covid restrictions. My students are a diverse group, they are a mix of general education students, special education students, and English language learners. In addition to learning about different mediums, mentor artists, and art history, my students enjoy reading diverse books about a variety of artists and engaging in STEAM activities. My students are eager to learn and I enjoy teaching, mentoring and shaping the minds of tomorrow's leaders.

In the new year, help us to have plenty of pencils and a place to sharpen them!
