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

My students are very creative. I would like them to experience using different ways to communicate their ideas. Too often they are limited to the supplies they have, crayons. Crayons are great, but water colors add another dimension.

My students need different ways to communicate their ideas and water colors allow them to step into a different artists medium.

My students are so creative, open, and full of idea. One third of my students are newcomers and they need a way to communicate their ideas until they acquire the necessary language skills.
