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

I would like to have my students in all grade levels focus on sketching and journaling. My students love sketching and drawing with our art challenges, but, have a difficult time storing their drawings safely. Unfortunately, we had a flood in our classroom last month, and had to put the journal making on hold, and also lost some of our journal/sketchbook making supplies due to water damage. I am looking to replace these supplies, in addition to having supplies for our many new students who have joined our classroom since January.

I would like for my students to be able to each create their own sketchbooks/journals to utilize both in and out of my classroom.

By making their own sketchbooks/journals, my students will be able to express their creativity and also have a sense of ownership of their art materials. It will be something private for them to use and not something I grade them on.

Journaling is a great way to reflect upon one's thoughts, goal setting, and a creative outlet.

I hope by using these journals, it will help my students find an outlet for self-expression where they can communicate their feelings and incorporate artwork and creativity. I am hoping that my students will be able to use these markers, scrapbook papers, and washi tape to express their creativity in their new journals.

Journaling is a great way for self-reflection, planning and relates to Social-Emotional learning which is one of our focuses for this school year. I plan to use the journaling supplies with my students to incorporate restorative justice methods, which is a new focus for this year.
