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

My students enjoy arts and crafts time in my classroom.

I believe arts and crafts are more than cute projects, they help tremendously with creativity, and fine motor skills development in little pre-kinder children.

These paints, craft sticks and other materials would be the perfect addition to our classroom.

My students would LOVE using them to create the best art projects in all school subjects. I love incorporating art into my lessons, but we do not have all the materials we need to do so. I kindly ask for your cooperation to this sweet project.
