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

As a TK-5th grade STEAM teacher I go through a lot of supplies, including art supplies. We use white construction paper and watercolors often in my classroom since they can be used across all grade levels. My current drying rack is slanted which can make art work drip.

A new drying rack that is horizontal will help store more painting and prevent beautiful artwork from dripping.

Having trays for my classroom helps students and their table groups keep their watercolor station tidy. They can keep all their watercolor supplies on their tray which can help if spills happen and keeps the mess in one place.

All of these supplies will ensure that these creative students can create beautiful artwork in a stocked and organized STEAM room.
