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 class is full of eager learners. They enjoy learning new things, and many spend their independent, free time digging deeper into new concepts. My students are very competitive and are highly motivated through game based learning. Though my class is made of students with many different reading levels, almost all of my students are voracious readers! Our class is filled with students from many different backgrounds and cultures, but at school we are bound in our excitement for learning.

We see our class as a family, and work hard to spread kindness throughout our wonderful campus.

My Project

This year, I have several students who struggle to put words on paper or communicate out loud. The students who don't feel confident writing or speaking often produce less work, and that can greatly affect their self confidence in the classroom.

We are still building our confidence as writers and speakers, but art breaks down those barriers of communication.

I have found that these students can express themselves through drawing, painting, or building. They then shine bright as they explain what they know through their creations. These materials will give my students exciting, new ways to express what they have learned and what they're feeling. Art has truly empowered my class, and I hope to continue to foster that with these materials.
