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

Dear Donors, help me provide art materials for my preschool students to foster critical thinking skills as they make a mental plan or picture of what they intend to create. Together the jumbo colored craft sticks, roll on painters, glitter glue, kwik stix, mad matter, Tinker Tool Box, scented dough, paintbrushes and paper, and glue will help support freedom to manipulate different materials in an organic and unstructured way to allow for exploration and experimentation. These artistic endeavors and self-directed explorations are not only fun but educational as well. As they engage with the materials my students will use language to describe their art work as well as their creative process. Art activities will foster fine motor development needed for writing skills. They will also learn math concepts such as size, shape, counting and spatial reasoning.

In advance, thank you so much for your generosity!
