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

Art is a huge part of an early childhood student's development as it encompasses critical thinking, problem-solving, persistence, literacy, math, and science. The students of Pre-K 123 have amazing ideas and enjoy bringing those ideas to fruition using our art materials. Our art center is decreasing in supplies, which has limited our student's creativity in that area.

We would be truly grateful to have art materials that spark new ideas and curiosity to keep them interested in art.

A variety of art materials intrigue our little learners and help the teachers make learning fun! Helping students learn essential skills through fun art activities is an ideal way to ensure they achieve their goals. With the right resources, we can ensure that our students have the opportunity to fully explore their creativity and achieve their educational goals.
