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 art supplies will continue to enhance the creative classroom that I strive to create. My classroom is a place that my students really enjoy expressing themselves. I incorporate art in every aspect of my classroom. Every piece of student created art is respectfully displayed and the kids are thankful for the opportunities to have their works of art admired by classmates. All of these art materials have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them the past few weeks of school express themselves through art and have also asked them what types of art and art mediums they would enjoy working with. Students will be able to participate in multiple types of art in class, which will help them continue to enjoy expressive, creative learning.
