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

These paint markers and gems will be used for enrichment sessions with students. The idea was inspired by the national community of rock and shell painters. People all over the country paint messages and pictures on shells and rocks. They then leave those rocks and shells with beautiful art for others to find.

Students will use these art supplies to paint sea shells to hide as gifts for others to find.

This project is designed to teach students about caring for others and finding joy in spreading joy. The time painting shells will also build a social community and develop creative skills.

There is also a bulletin board border with positive sayings to support this project.
