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

My students are constantly striving to be the best they can possibly be. They want to get good grades and learn as much as they can. However, it is easy to get overwhelmed by all their classes, homework, social life, and so on. Students often get burnt out easily and they need a brain break. I believe that coloring is a great way for them to calm down, breathe and meditate.

They need a time to be a kid, to remember the small joys that they get when they color with crayons and colored pencils.

Grades 6-8
