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

This painting project will be combined with STEM activities to enhance my students' opportunities to grow throughout the school year. We will begin with painting. They will learn to develop and use their skills in painting with different types of mediums and with different tools, such as magnets.

This STEM project will increase creativity, improve academic performance, increase motor skills, enhance visual learning, and boost higher decision-making skills.

It will also build confidence as my students demonstrate their knowledge and natural talents. This project is just the first of many more. STEM projects will help my students learn to think differently. They will learn to organize their thought processes to create artwork.
