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

Art material went by so fast this year; the materials that our children have been utilizing to get hands and eyes coordinated and facilitate creativity. We are running out of playdough, paint, stickers, paper, crayons, markers, glue, and sticky letters. With the new material we will paint butterflies, caterpillars, ants, the sun and moon, and the letters will help us to label each, and every piece of art.

Art exploration is not only fun and entertaining but also educational for young children.

Some of the educational benefits of art in preschool include, math skills, emotional development skills, confidence and independence, imagine the possibilities.
