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

Students who have spent several years learning from home are back in classes and ready to explore. Watercolor pencils are a great way to draw then paint tiny trading card masterpieces. It is exciting to watch as young learners begin to communicate thoughts, ideas, expectations and joy while learning the difference between a flat brush and a round brush.

Being an educator during COVID has taught me to embrace the unfamiliar and model flexibility, I challenge learners to lean in with me as we gently press goggily eyes onto their Heather Galler flores en un florero.

Choices and challenges are becoming more normalized as learners embrace being the captain of their own ship. Celebrating imperfection, discussing challenges and discoveries, answering questions themselves about what's next, my room is filled with people who are learning about themselves while exploring new materials.
