Celebrating 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.
I am an art teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district where students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. I want things to remain simple in my classroom and I want to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My high school students are very creative in the arts (art and music).
They love to get a chance to express themselves. We are in need of art materials so they can be successful and as creative as possible in class and after-school art club. Students love to receive positive attention and praise from their mentors and peers. From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, my goal is to focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I highlight their strengths and try to make every student feel important. I may not be able to control their home lives, but I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire our students to put their best selves forward.
My Project
Since we are all stuck at home and participating in distance learning, I’d like to make student home packages of art supplies. Our students come from various backgrounds and may not have the school supplies at home that are necessary for them to complete their assignments and art projects. I’d like to get back to the basics, materials such as paper, pencils, and coloring materials like markers and colored pencils out to our students who need them. If this pandemic continues and schools remain closed, I would like to make sure my students have the materials they need to continue to be creative outside of the art room!
