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

Hi everyone!

As a passionate educator, I am excited to share my vision for this academic year.

My goal is to encourage my students to express themselves through the power of art and music. Unfortunately, our school does not currently offer an art class for students to attend regularly and explore different materials. However, I believe that by including various art and music activities in our lessons and on Fun Fridays, we can help our students unleash their creative potential and improve their non-verbal communication skills. I am dedicated to providing my students with opportunities to discover the transformative power of self-expression and I am committed to making this a reality in our classroom
