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 Students

Our students have limited space and materials for recess time at our school. Because of these limitations, many of them find themselves unhappy or in conflict. Having arts and crafts at recess will give them the opportunity to engage in creative play and will allow for all students to participate.

Our students are third through fifth graders at a public school in a high poverty neighborhood.

They come from a variety of backgrounds and have a range of needs. Because of the neighborhood in which they grow up, they need school to be a safe learning environment that offers both challenges and an outlet for creativity. When they are given the opportunity, they constantly surprise their teachers with their ingenuity and brilliant ideas!

My Project

We are requesting various arts and crafts supplies to fill the gap between what is provided by the school and what the students are requesting. It is frequently heard in the classroom "Can we draw this?" "Can we paint that?" We would like the opportunity to say "Yes! of course you can!" to all of them. We need supplies including colored pencils, modeling clay, beads, and paint. For play time to be a success, students need a variety of ways to participate and express themselves, including through the arts. When students are given the opportunity to express their thoughts through various mediums, they are able to stretch their thinking. Having arts and crafts at recess will give students an opportunity to collaborate and communicate with peers in a unique way. This will help to strengthen their social-emotional well being and will build their imagination.

In a time when bullying is common in schools throughout the country, we want to promote more positive interactions among our students, especially during their play time.

Please fund our project for arts and crafts so we can provide structured play that allows students to put their energy toward a creative end.
