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 am excited to provide my students with the opportunity to explore various forms of artistic expression, particularly focusing on fiber arts. By integrating these supplies into our curriculum, we can embark on a journey of creativity that will enable us to produce a range of yarn-woven projects. Additionally, we will engage in embroidery-based projects that will further enhance their understanding and appreciation of this unique art form. This initiative will not only foster their artistic skills but also encourage them to express their individuality through the medium of fiber.
