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

My gifted and talented students are always challenging themselves to find new ways to express their knowledge in their unit assessments. This year, the largest requests are to do stop-motion videos, claymation videos, animating, and vlogging. However, our classroom lacks the supplies to properly complete any of these tasks.

Our grant is asking for cameras, kits, XP Pen tablet, and other supplies to help create stop-motion, claymation, animation, and vlog videos.

The kits of HUE Animation Studio, Stopmotion Explosion, Klutz Lego, and Zing Klibot Zanimation Studio all provide instruction and knowledge for creating the videos. Clap Boards and green gloves help start and create the students’ videos. Lightboxes, LEGOs, modeling clay, and Zing Stikbots are perfect tools to create stop-motion and claymation videos. Please consider donating to help us Digitize Our Stories.
