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 Students

Our school is a STEAM magnet center and we provide integrated curriculum that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics. Our school is a Title I school where all students qualify for free lunch and come from low-income families. Regardless of circumstances, my students are eager to learn and reach their academic goals. Making sure my students have the materials they need for things like, Engineering and STEAM, has been a struggle. Funding has been limited these last years, and these STEAM resources will help me provide learning experiences that will help my students comprehend big concepts & make learning them more effective and fun. My students love the arts and having STEAM resources readily available for them in their home setting, would allow for daily opportunities for them to experience different element of Visual Arts!

My students are creative, enthusiastic learners and would love to draw and paint using oil pastels and water colors!

They love the arts and enjoy being creative and mixing colors to make new ones. Having the materials we need for art instruction during virtual learning, is vital right now.

My Project

These materials will make an enormous difference. At the moment, I am teaching virtually and it's been such a struggle to teach Art when my student have minimal resources. We've been sketching and using our crayons during our art lessons, but this has been very limiting. For example, I taught my students about the primary colors but couldn't teach about the secondary and tertiary colors because my students don't have water colors or paint. My students will be able to experience all the textures and elements of visual arts instruction with these oil pastels and color pencils. They will be able to paint using water colors and will be able to experience the mixing of blue and yellow to make green. My kids love and enjoy the minimal arts lessons I've provided thus far and I can't even imagine all the wonderful masterpieces they will create with all of these wonderful resources you are helping me provide for my first graders!
