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

I provide my students with weekly art projects, but at this time in the school year we are running low on supplies. My students thoroughly enjoy participating in art projects using art supplies like oil pastels, colored pencils, and markers.

These would be fun, engaging, and interesting to my students as many of our markers and colored pencils have been used up and need to be replaced.

Third graders (especially my students} love using art supplies and love drawing, coloring, and this would be such a benefit for both me and for my class.
