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

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I work to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My students are creative, smart, clever, and very energetic.

They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead in life. From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential, academic progress, and emotional growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I hope to inspire my students to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

When students are trying to create watercolor paintings, they need real watercolor supplies. Watercolor paper holds paint very differently than school construction paper. Our student artists would like to explore this medium like a real artist would, using authentic painting supplies.

This project will not only provide watercolor paper, but paint palates with no missing colors.

Imagine trying to create a landscape without blue paint! With your help our students will have everything they need to create any kind of picture they can imagine. Most importantly they will learn the difference real art tools can make to a finished product.
