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

The students that will be in my class this upcoming school year are cheerful and full of questions. I know they are worried and curious about their new school experience, whether it is at home or in the classroom, and their new teacher. Some of these students perhaps have never been to school and may feel they are not ready.

Students come from low-income families and 100% of these students receive free school meals.

Our school, as well, has limited funds to provide the teachers with books, organizational tools such as pencil boxes, sharpeners, and markers. As an educator, I need to be prepared to provide students with basic materials to engage them in their learning.

My Project

These materials will help students feel like real artists. They will use their senses of sight, smell, touch, and hearing as they engage in this lesson. Students will be exposed to different mediums, such as watercolors, tempera, drawing with chalk on paper. They will be exposed to other materials, like paintbrushes and the proper way to use them. They will also use a variety of color paper and chalk markers and use the colors of their choosing. In the future, students will feel more comfortable using art materials.
