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.

What would we do without art? What will happen to our future artists? How will the next generations express themselves in our world without knowing the history and power of art. As a second grade teacher in a Language Arts and Social Justice Magnet School, my focus is the respect of self and others. This encompasses discipline and ambition as well as activism and compassion. African American students form about 75% of our school alongside with Latin and Asian children. This rich diversity of cultures offers unlimited opportunities to learn tolerance and team work while discovering new perspectives. However, our school and our families can't afford the sources we need to support significant academic knowledge.

My public school struggles to offer the best to our kids who come from economically disadvantaged families. 75% of our students are African American alongside with Latin and Asian children. The only way I can get our students informed about other artists is through a generous donation! Besides teaching my second grade class, I am in charge of visual arts for all second grade classrooms. Having literature about artists would benefit about 80 students every year... How many Norman Rockwells, Salvador Dalis, or Jackson Pollocks would we inspire?

My project needs variety of books on artists such as: Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Grant Wood, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Norman Rockwell, Grandma Moses, and Salvador Dali just to name a few.

Art is important and I wish my students could have access to this opportunity because it would not only enhance their creativity, thinking, reading, speaking, and thinking skills, but develop their motivation to learn, independence, and social competence. They would be on their way to define who they are and why they are here.
