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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I love how my students love creating different types of art work and showing off their talent. Some are really detailed orientated.

I have requested basic classroom supplies such as pencils, paper, dry erase markers, and erasers.

I have also requested art supplies such as paint, pastels, and watercolors. These materials will make a difference in my students' learning by allowing them to get the materials that are not provided by the school so that they can really express themselves artistically.

This project will allow my students to showcase that intercity students have the most amazing talent and skills. We want to teach our students of today, not to let where they come from stop them from expressing themselves in a positive way.
