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 students and I are excited about the upcoming spring art show! Last year the art show was a success! The children worked hard on the artwork, and the displays were beautiful. This year, we will have a spring art show and an art Weans. We need board borders, smocks, glue, and many more supplies. I love teaching art to my students and can see its positive impact on them. I love hearing them say, this is so much fun." This is my favorite subject; I want to be an artist growing up. It brings joy to my heart and reminds me that I'm making them the way my art teacher did. But most of all, they are making the most significant impact; they're changing the world and are the future of art. I hope you can help with our project. We appreciate it!
