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

My students live in the Bronx. I serve a diverse group of students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Many are English language learners and come from low-income families. They are so excited to have a visual arts class where they can express themselves. I will be visiting classrooms in a blended capacity and a large percentage may be working remotely this upcoming school year. I see several classes on a remote only basis as well as those in the building

My art class is a safe haven where students can feel free to take creative risks and express their emotions.

Students in my school typically don't have access to art supplies at home. They are bright, creative, and eager young scholars. They would all really benefit from your support with materials and mediums which they don't get to use except in our art classroom.

My Project

Thankfully, we have been mostly in-person this year and next year will be 100% of our students rejoining in-person learning. We're so thrilled to have access to collaging materials and get creating next year. Unfortunately, a lot of our paper supply is running low or even exhausted. We love the creative problem solving opportunities that collage encourages. Students get to compose their own artwork by arranging, cutting and gluing bright, bold paper and expressing their feelings.

Having access to creative, screen-free time is vital to helping our scholars feel a little more 'normal' after this unprecedented year.
