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 students are advanced thinkers; preparing for their future in law or other public speaking roles. Additionally, they are innovators and creators of the world.
Through art, we will conceptualize text, bringing stories to life; creating meaning and purpose to the text, and applying problem solving skills, which are essential after Covid-19 to increase reading comprehension.
Students will be using these art supplies (markers, crayons, construction paper) needed in preparation of Individual Events as well as typical projects one may see in a day-to-day classroom, providing connections in the text to background knowledge and build on that. Additionally, students will be learning about the world around them using visual AND performance art; as these art forms have largely been lost since the pandemic.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
