Help me give my students amazing quality resources to expand their creative learning.

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

Using these resources, my students will be able to expand their creativity through art. They enjoy painting on the easel, creating things from their own imagination. They learn through the world of art, and this will better help their fine motor skills with their painting with brushes and finger painting.

These skills are crucial for children at this age so they are able to take the following years in their education.

We will use them for many projects for a long time as these children really enjoy painting and using their creative side. My children will forever cherish these materials for years to come!
