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 have the most brilliant group of 5 and 6-year-olds, and they are bursting with ideas. There are so many opportunities everyday for them to express themselves - acting out stories, singing, drawing, painting, writing, and on and on.

Having developmentally appropriate drawing and painting materials makes such a difference in supporting students as they are learning to express themselves through drawing and writing.

The triangular crayons not only help students develop proper pencil grip, but also prevent rolling off the table, meaning that kids won't get frustrated with the materials. Watercolors are a great paint for little kids because they can use them independently, and because everything looks great in watercolors!
