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
Our Title I school serves free breakfast for 85% of the students, and they get to the school early to eat the breakfast that they don’t get at home. My students eat their breakfast at school each morning before they come to my class. Fuel in their bodies makes them ready to learn and start the day.
We are a uniform school.
Some kids have uniforms that fit and are clean, and others have uniforms that are too big, too small, and don't really look clean. The majority of kids are happy, energetic, and ready to learn, but some students have trouble staying awake and staying focused. They come every day from group homes, and some are homeless or being raised by grandparents.
My students are 11, 12, 13, and 14-year-old boys and girls who are growing, trying, creating, experiencing, experimenting, challenging, and ultimately becoming educated with art in my classroom.
My classes are all year long, so I can work with these students in-depth with technology, get to know their strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and see their creativity develop as their experience with art increases and grows.
My Project
I am getting together packets for students to pick up next week when they come to the school to pick up their books and chromebooks.
This will be the only time I can get materials to each student in distant learning and I want to include fun projects that promote literacy, creativity, self-expression with actual, functional objects they design: small books, book markers, postcards and cards for each of my 6 art and digital art classes.
I will put a stamp on their postcards and the first project they will do will be to design the front of the postcard and then the back they are to write about themselves and then mail them to the school.
This will be a good start to creatively, thinking outside the box and finding ways to make learning from home, different and engaging.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
