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

In my pre-K 4 classroom this year, I have many student artists! They've really taken a liking to drawing, and designing whatever they can. I want to provide them with art materials so they can create projects in our classroom. This will allow them to use their imagination and express their ideas and emotions through art while collaborating with their peers.

My students love to create and paint, but they don't always have the opportunity to be creative at home.

I want to give them this opportunity with your help and generosity.
