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 preschool-age students utilize different art resources while developing their imagination and creativity. Having different art materials in our art center is crucial to developing students' creative minds and fine motor skills as well.

All students love to use paint, markers, and paper during the self-center time to create different art projects that reflect their personal interests and creativity.

All children feel very proud when their final product is displayed in our Art Hall of Fame or in other parts of our classroom. In addition, they love to show their work to their parents when families visit our classroom during special events.
