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.

I teach 6 periods of Speech/Drama in a middle school grades 6 - 8. Our school is a title I school with low-income, at-risk, minority students. My class focuses on making these students more confident speakers and to appreciate theater arts.

In my Speech/Drama class I try to get my kids to use all of their senses to learn and express what they have learned. We read, speak, write, move, sing, and draw. The students use art supplies to make visuals for class. Most of these activities can be done with little or no supplies. However, whenever we need to do a project that involves drawing, I have trouble finding supplies available.

If we had our own set of supplies for Speech/Drama, our class would get their projects done quickly and neatly without having to wait for supplies from other classes. This will also allow us to spend more time on projects as we do not have to work quickly to return supplies.

Your donation with allow over 400 children every year to have free and easy access to art supplies for class theater and speech projects.
