Celebrating 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
I teach in a Title I school, so the majority of my students live below the poverty level. My students have limited exposure to the arts outside of school. In addition, our budget is very tight. It is hard to get a lot of money to spend on art supplies and resources.
Many of my students are English Language Learners and/or have special learning needs.
Art instruction is very beneficial to them. They love having opportunities to explore their creativity and the arts.
My Project
Right now my large classes (32 students) are very cramped and do not have the space they need to work on their projects. The tables we currently have are old, uneven, and rundown.
Some of the tables have legs that continue to wobble, no matter how often we tighten the screws.
I want my students to have a quality art room with quality furniture.
In addition, using tables that are color-coded helps me easily group the students so they can work collaboratively and continue to hone their discussion skills. A well-organized room is a highly effective room. I am trying to get half of the new tables I need now, and will post for the other half soon.
The room is also for after school extracurricular activities. Many, many, many students at my school will benefit from having new, quality furniture.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
