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

Art is about discovering and creating ingenious ways of problem-solving, integrating principles and presenting information. By adding the elements of art to STEM based thinking, students can use both sides of their brains, analytical and creative, to develop the best thinkers of tomorrow. As a result of the adoption of STEAM in classrooms, I can utilize new teaching methods in the classroom. I can add arts into STEM by applying graphics to projects. I can also using the performing arts to communicate a STEM project. Students can utilize their artistic talents to generate innovative thinking.

The materials will be utilized for my lower elementary classroom to give students exposure to hands-on learning, challenge them to think critically and creatively, and let them apply essential content knowledge in meaningful ways.
