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 Students

Our school is located in Miami-Dade County and the majority of the students are Hispanic. Since our student's parents do not have the means to provide for a better education outside of public school, they depend on our resources to ensure they excel and become vital members of our society. My students are fun, vibrant, and have the true desire to succeed in their studies. Since this is an elementary school, the importance of establishing the foundation of a solid education is paramount. My students live for the American dream and hope to contribute to society more than their parents have. With that said, isn't that how America works? The parents of the children advancing hope for the best of things to come. In a community largely Hispanic, it is amazing to see how far these children would like to advance in their education and how hard they work to do so. My only hope is that they are successful and it is due to programs such as these that impact lives of children around the globe.

My Project

My students really enjoy the Art and Creativity Center. Several students work there every day. We need to replenish supplies such as brushes, crayons, and Wikki Stix, so that children have a variety of materials to work with. We also need bins to store some of the materials.

In an age where we have to compete with technology, it is very rewarding to see students create authentic work using all sorts of materials, having the materials we need available facilitates the creative process for little minds.

Students enjoy creating "Masterpieces" to share both with their parents as well as with their peers. Art activities that tie into other areas of the curriculum are often the activities that have the most impact.
