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

I teach amazing kindergarteners, and their FAVORITE thing to do is create art! Kindergarten these days is very rigorous and we work hard all day every day. My students love art and creating and there are so many wonderful skills they learn and practice while making art.

We have close to zero art supplies available to us, and I want my students to have the materials to create and express themselves!

Painting and cutting help with fine motor skills, drawing is the prerequisite for writing, and art is just plain FUN!!

We would be thrilled to add the materials to our classroom to bring a little bit of color to our lives!
