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

Do you remember your elementary and middle school years? Do you remember having the opportunity to express yourself through art? We have a class of K-8th graders who love to explore themselves through art. Unfortunately we come from a low income area and our school is broke!

My students come from a low income area and our school has no money.

Because we serve K-8 students, their needs are very different and Art has become difficult to produce. My students have disabilities ranging from Down Syndrome to Autism and are amazing kids. I have never taught such a wide variety of students that are so difficult to serve because of the range. Differentiating instruction has become very difficult and because of that Art has taken a back seat. Years ago we received a grant from Donorschoose for art with different sets of things to do. I remembered how interested the students were in the projects and thought it would spark their interest to be able to do those things again.

My Project

My students need Art supplies such as 15 Decorate -Your-Own Pencil Cases, Train Shapes Instant Craft Kit, Jumbo People Shapes and two People Shapes Project Kits so that students can all explore and do age appropriate things while doing something they love! Art is an amazing thing! My students, who sometimes feel inadequate when compared to their peers, build their confidence with art. Art is a highly preferred task for my students and they love doing it when they are interested. Art builds confidence and they love talking about it and exploring their skills through art. They also connect with their families through the art and their parents are very proud of them for what they are able to do. With the ability to access the materials requested in this project like butterfly art, people art, train kits, insect kits, and all of the other material kits, we can help to teach to the standards using hands-on fun with the arts.

Art is so important to all students.

Because of budget cuts, schools no longer support art. For my students with disabilities, Art builds confidence and really adds to their school day. With this art, we will be able to differentiate instruction and have students do things that are meaningful and exciting for them to do. This will allow them to build, create and inspire each other. Thank you so much for thinking about this!
