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

For a five-year-old, there is no better feeling than grabbing a paintbrush and watching your ideas come to life.

My students have brilliant ideas, and every day they choose activities and set out to make their own masterpieces.

The walls of the classroom are covered with their drawings, paintings, and sculptures. Beyond making paintings, my students want to paint their sculptures and buildings.

Painting is one of their favorite ways to create and communicate. These high quality paints will allow their creations to match the vibrancy and magic of their ideas. The wide range of colors and brush sizes lets them make real choices about their art, as well as explore color mixing!
