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

I love that my students are always thinking outside the box. They inspire me to be better everyday because of how they view the world around them with such joy and curiosity. They are so creative and curious by nature.

When you are a child, the world is a canvas.

Creativity opens unimaginable doors and that is what I want to do for my students. I want to open their world and help them paint their dreams!

My Project

These materials are essential to foster creativity and will increase my students chances of becoming the next Picasso. Art will help my students develop mentally, socially, and emotionally. Painting will improve their fine motor skills and so much more. During the pandemic students were not in school and it is a great way for them to express themselves.

A child's painting can tell you so much more than we are willing to see.

Even the simplest painting can tell you a story of their thoughts, feelings, and aspirations even when they cannot put it into words yet. Most importantly kids feel good while they are creating and boost their self esteem which extends outside the classroom.
