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 love how my students light up when they’re creating something with their hands—whether they’re molding play dough into imaginative creatures, painting bold colors onto paper, or tapping along to the beat of a rain stick. They’re curious, expressive, and full of ideas just waiting to come to life. These resources will give them the freedom to explore, create, and learn in ways that engage all their senses. The tempera paint cakes will bring their artistic visions to life. The play dough will help strengthen their fine motor skills while encouraging open-ended creativity. Instruments like the rain stick will help them explore sound and rhythm, while individual dry erase boards will give them a fun, low-pressure way to practice writing, drawing, and problem-solving every day. With these tools, my students will not only build academic skills—they’ll grow in confidence, joy, and self-expression.
