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 come from a small neighborhood community and go to a Title I school. They receive a free breakfast and a free or reduced-price lunch each day.

They are a resilient group of boys and girls who enjoy learning even if it means doing it at home.

My Project

Students have had to make quick adjustments from learning at school to learning at home. They miss seeing their friends and playing with them. They miss the interaction with their teacher and other school staff.

These art materials will help them to express their feelings in a way that they may not be able to in words.

Students love to draw and often their drawings tell a lot about their thoughts, hopes and aspirations.

Our school day will definitely be filled with building knowledge but this is another part of their brain they will be able to exercise in a different and creative way.
