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

My students come from diverse backgrounds. Most receive free breakfast and lunch. Sometimes it is difficult for my students to write down in words what they have just read being able to creatively make a representation of what they have as a picture in their minds will be amazing.

Imagine staring at a blank paper or computer screen and having to write an essay about a time in your life you were proud.

Sure you can come up with a few sentences, That does not exude the feelings to your reader. What about having to write about a story you just heard or read. Have something tangible to create and look back on will evoke those feelings and convey to the reader those same emotions he write was feeling at that time.

Not everyone thinks paint is their best medium to work is some need a tactile approach to help with the creative ideas.
