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 Students

My students are eager, enthusiastic young artists. They come into the art studio willing to learn, take risks, and explore their creative potential. Through our time together, I have had the opportunity to know them as individuals. Many have come up through hardships in their childhood that are more than anyone should experience in a lifetime, yet they persevere. A large portion of my school's demographic receives free lunch and other services.

When they enter the art room, they find a space that is welcoming and supportive.

We use many of our projects to reinforce learning through their academic courses and to support STEAM in our school. My students want to be positive members of society, want to participate in problem-solving, and want to find success in their academic endeavors. My students' eagerness for learning surpasses expectations. I take honor in my role as their art teacher. I hope to inspire, motivate, and open their ideas to creative endeavors.

My Project

For this proposal, I am requesting a variety of crafting supplies from felt and foam sheets, googly eyes, Origami paper, and beads for jewelry making. These items will be used during times when my kiddos need a break from some of their stressors in the school day. his maybe during lunch hours, after school or for my earlier finishers. We also have "Free-choice Fridays" and crafting is a great way to end the week! I will also be able to make care packages for kiddos that need some creative outlet when at home, especially over long school breaks. They can then share with other members of their household and have productive, fun activities to enjoy together.
