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

The materials that I am requesting for my students already have a “home”. In other words, I know where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through the door.

The construction paper, glue, watercolors, and different art supplies will be put in different baskets on the shelves in the “Art Area” where the children are able grab and use at any time to create beautiful art work every day.

My students are all unique and special in every way and I can’t wait to see their little hands and creative minds working together to make some beautiful art work!
