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

The students I teach are amazing. They come from a number of backgrounds, many filled with traumatic experiences. I teach in an underserved community well below poverty level.

These materials will help brighten up our classroom and the lives of my students, and help them regulate their emotions.

We will use the items for art projects, such as Mother's Day gifts, that students otherwise would not be able to afford.

Having previously received craft donations for my classroom, I can tell you that not only will these items not go to waste, they will be loved by my students. We will make bracelets on rainy days, create many great items with the fuse beads, like keychains and Christmas gifts for family. This donation will serve past, present and future students.

These items will also help the Social and Emotional health of my students. We know that crafting and being creative allows time for self care, reflection and gratitude. Students are often calmer when doing an art project. These items will go a long way in supporting my students' mental health.
