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

Every year, I strive to introduce novel and thrilling experiences to my classroom. A few years back, I initiated a small blacklight lesson, which resonated immensely with the students. Now, I am eager to transform it into a comprehensive experience for them. Utilizing neon paints, crayons, highlighters, colored pencils, and oil pastels, we will craft stunning 2D artworks for our upcoming art show. Additionally, glow sticks and pipe cleaners will fuel a one-day STEAM 3D building challenge for my advanced art classes.

Nestled within a close-knit community, my students attend a small Title I school district.

Despite the challenges, they dedicate themselves daily to channel their talents and abilities into the art room and the broader school environment. It is my earnest desire to recognize their hard work by providing an exciting avenue for learning and creating, fostering an environment that celebrates their dedication and creativity.

Your support will not only amplify the impact of this initiative but also contribute to the holistic development of these young minds, making a lasting impression on their educational journey.
