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 looms and yarn will help our students with our weaving unit in art. We will be able to learn the history and terms of weaving. This information will help inspire them to make their own design.

This will be a special project because each loom lets the students not only create their own but they will be able to save their work and continue it for the next class.

My students are always wanting to learn something new and ready for a new challenge. Let’s get ready to learn and get ready to weave something beautiful.
