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 energetic and excited to learn. They especially enjoy coloring and creating within the classroom. They enjoy making DIY projects using their imagination using popsicle sticks, pom poms, straws and lots and lots of glue! My students especially love coloring all of their projects and making pictures for their families, and friends.

My Project

Mr. Sketch markers were always a great way to socialize with friends and talk about which one is your favorite while creating or coloring. These will be useful in creating but also for adding details to their projects and just coloring their drawings. The multi pack of art materials will allow students at play time to have an option to create a masterpiece using different materials.

The materials chosen will be useful for students in creating self directed art and unleashing their creativity.

These materials will be great for self directed but also directed art and allows students different sizes of markers to be used not just one size.
