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

For my young students art is the medium that helps them understand curriculum content as they create and have fun. My students use card stock, pom poms, play doh, cookie cutters, craft sticks, tempera paint pen, washable dot markers, wax craft sticks, and black wiggle googly eyes with self-adhesive, to create a variety of art projects to learn about pets, insects, trees, buildings, etc. We also need a DYMO Label Maker to label all their creations. All through the school year art supplies are used in my classroom. The majority of these materials do not come from the school budget, they come from the teacher's personal budget! As you can imagine buying art supplies drains the teacher's pocket. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and creativity, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
