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

Fifth grade students are super creative and love to try new things. These art supplies, like markers and construction paper, will give them the necessary tools to help them express their ideas in an artistic form. They can draw, build a 3-D model, or create another artistic way to answer a question or show their knowledge. Drawing and coloring are an important part of anyone's elementary school experience. These items will allow them to learn beyone their laptops and personal writing, which they don't always like to do. Please help.
