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

"Do we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of Northern Philadelphia.

The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing, and share with their peers.

They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I struggle to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support holistic learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.

My Project

Curves, stripes, and zig zags follow the margins of their notebook pages. Perhaps it's a distraction, perhaps it's a creative expression, or both! Whatever the reason may be, I know that many of my students enjoy visual arts. Unfortunately, this year our students will not have an art class where they can learn and explore different creative concepts.

By providing the art supplies and literature, you will be supporting their art education.

Some of their favorite academic activities include drawing to demonstrate their understanding in a variety of subjects like math, reading, writing, and social studies. Not to mention, the markers, paint, and picture books will encourage them to create and enjoy visual arts, for the sake of enjoying art.
