Celebrating 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
Using colored pencils, markers, and Sharpies in history lessons transforms learning into an engaging, creative experience. These supplies allow students to illustrate historical events, maps, and figures, making the past feel more vivid and accessible.
Instead of reading about ancient civilizations, students can sketch and color artifacts, clothing, and landmarks, reinforcing their understanding of different time periods.
Allowing students to create artistic interpretations of historical events fosters deeper connections with the material. They can design political cartoons, timeline infographics, and illustrated biographies.
Hands-on activities with color boost participation and make learning more enjoyable, especially for visual learners who thrive with artistic expression.
Color-coded notes and drawings help students break down complex concepts and remember key details more effectively.
These supplies turn history into an interactive experience, helping students express their ideas while immersing themselves in the richness of the past.
More than half of students from low‑income households
