Art and Literacy

Help me give my students a wonderful year- full of arts. crafts, snacks, and a steady supply of materials that easily adapt and support our curriculum. I’m grateful for these programs that seek to invigorate and inspire students!

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

With these art supplies, my students will be introduced to a variety of art lessons that connect our curriculum to art projects. By using different medians and techniques, students will be inspired to take their learning further. By adding the art component, students will be able to explore what talents and interests they may have- all while continuing to learn and grow.

Stories that we learn will come to life when we invest in creating artwork that highlights a character, a setting, or a plot.

I am passionate about teaching and want every child to reach their potential. Sometimes- it’s in the arts that you find a true talent.
