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

My students thrive when they find ways to self express their thoughts and feelings. In the early stages, their preferred way through which they like express themselves is through art.

I would love for my students to have a nice space in our Kindergarten classroom in which the focus would be the creation of art as a means of self-expression.

I believe this easel would facilitate the creation of a dedicated space for art in the classroom, which students would love to put to use on a daily basis.

In Kindergarten, art is a key component for hand muscles development as well, which will help boost their fine motor skills.

Thank you for considering donating to our class.
