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

Every Wednesday, my students have an art lesson and they've been thriving! We've mostly worked with markers, crayons and colored pencils, and now I would like to expand their artistic horizons. I'm asking for paint, oils pastels, and heavyweight paper so that we can do even more projects throughout the year.

Art instruction helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness.

As we work on our art projects, we collaborate to come up with ideas and the students get to socialize as they complete their projects. This time is important for them to practice being creative and building relationships with their peers.

This month we are practicing perseverance and art is a perfect way to practice the skills we are discussing as part of our SEL program. I am very proud of the progress they have made and can't wait to see what they create next!
