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 Students

Art supplies can provide many things for my students. They can allow my students to fuel their imaginations and create beautiful art projects that combine the areas of art and science.

I have a wonderful class of second graders.

Our school is located in a high immigrant, low income community in California. The parents of most of my students never finished high school. Many of my students will be the first ones in the family to finish high school and, hopefully, college too. Most of my students are English learners. I also have several students with learning disabilities. I mainstream several students with learning disabilities, and hard-of-hearing students, into my all-inclusive classroom. In addition, I partner for enrichment activities with a 3rd grade class and a class of 2nd grade hard-of-hearing students, and they will also participate in this project.

My Project

These art supplies will be used to create amazing art projects in my classroom that will be part of our science and language arts curriculum. My students are studying animals. As part of this unit, they will each get to choose their favorite animal to learn about and complete a descriptive animal report. They will also learn how to draw their animal. The animal drawing books will be used to help the students with their drawings. I plan on shrinking their drawings on the copier and using carbon paper to transfer the drawings to the quilt pieces. Then we will use the fabric paint to change their drawings into amazing animal pictures on the quilt pieces. These quilt pieces will be put together to create an amazing animal quilt! These art supplies will enrich my science and literature units.

This project will allow my students to use the information they are learning about animals to create amazing art projects.

It will enable my students to go beyond just reading about animals. These supplies will enrich my curriculum, empower my students through art, and allow my students to become excited about what they are learning!
