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.

I believe that art is a necessity for the learning of young children. I teach a very diverse class of first graders. Crayons and other supplies are often broken and it is sometimes difficult for parents to continuously afford new materials.

Along with this obstacle comes that of constant budget cuts. My school does everything in it's power to give my students art classes. Unfortunately, this is not done on a daily basis. I do my very best to integrate art into my teaching daily, but with this lack of supplies it becomes an obstacle.

The donation of a classroom set of crayons and construction paper would make art a daily part of our school life once again. I have also selected a set of "people colors". This would allow all of my children to portray themselves with the true color of their skin, not just white or brown.

Your help can truly make the difference in the life of my students. They can take pride in their art and not feel bad that they can't afford the supplies or that they always have to borrow. You can really make this possible for my students.
