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

Paper, drawing pencils, markers, and crayons are some of the tools my students will use to create a successful future. These tools will be used to offer opportunities that will build self-confidence, a positive growth mindset, and creativity.

Creating art promotes feelings of accomplishment and community which is what will help my students grow as confident, fulfilled individuals.

Every completed project offers an opportunity to develop artistic skills that motivate students to share with others. This connection to others helps build self-esteem with an " I can do it!" attitude.

Once my students become confident artists, they will become confident and creative learners which will directly impact their future success.
