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

I am asking for help in acquiring art supplies for my third-grade students. My class is incredibly creative and could use some better mediums to create beautiful art.

We have been reading about different authors and their mediums and find that our crayons are not enough to create our own masterpieces!

We would love to experiment with markers, watercolors, Multicultural colored pencils and crayons, and more.

Art is such a vital part of our curriculum as we try to advance our students understandings of the world around us.

We are also very diverse the skin color crayons and pencils will be used for students to better represent themselves (and others) in their self-portraits.
