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

My students are motivated, hardworking, talented, and thirsty for knowledge.

They are dreamers who anxiously await an opportunity for college matriculation.

They are Latino and African-American, come from low income families, poor neighborhoods, and most have responsibilities outside of school that would make any one of us rethink our most difficult hardships. Yet, they still come to school because in a way it is a release from reality and a hopeful investment for their future. From South LA to College!

My Project

Currently, my classroom only has plastic storage bins with minimal space to store student works of art. With these new flat storage drawers, my students will be able to store works of art in various sizes and feel secure that their hard work will remain flat, neat, and well preserved. For instance, this new storage system will no longer hinder my students' ability to work on a larger scale because of a minimal storage issues.

In addition, this storage system will also make my classroom feel more like an art studio, which is important in building student moral and a "creative art making" classroom culture.

Furthermore, there will be five extra drawers that will be used to greatly reduce clutter and time needed to shuffle through works of art to find specific work.
