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 Students

Have you ever used art to calm down when you are having a bad day? My students can produce responses with art when they are frustrated with reading and writing.

I teach 13 wonderful first and second grade students, in a self contained class.

Their disabilities range from learning disabilities to speech and language impairments. My students are very artistic and love to have art supplies at their disposal. When they are having a bad day, producing art calms them down.

My Project

Art is becoming a huge part of our curriculum. Having the necessary supplies to create art is extremely important since art is a way my students can produce a response to literature. My students will use the construction paper, craft sticks, glue and wiggly eyes to complete art work in the classroom related to units we are studying and/or independent art activities. The art will be displayed in the classroom and will be an addition to their written work. They will also have supplies to use art to calm down and focus.

I will have another mode for students to produce a response to literature.

I will also have supplies needed for my students to take a break and calm down if they are having a bad day.
