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

When you enter the door to our kindergarten class, you will see twenty boys and girls playing and working with manipulatives ranging from counting counters, letter blocks, a magnifying glass, etc. Though my students come from different backgrounds and nationalities, they all learn through play and hands-on experiences. Many of them speak Spanish as a first language.

They yearn to connect and learn from one another.

My students come to kindergarten with a range of prior knowledge, however, I differentiate instruction to cater to all their needs. They are full of energy, and they learn best from moving and acting out.

My Project

My Kindergarten students love arts and crafts! Painting, glitter, cutting, drawing, you name it! Art encourages collaboration, creativity and helps develop imagination. It is an outlet for many children and gives them another way of expressing themselves without using a word. But these projects require a lot of preparation and supplies. These supplies- paint pens, markers, paper and cutting machine will enable us to have a better and more prepared classroom for the arts.

With your help, my students can dive into more learning through glitter, paint and glue.

Art is an important part of Kindergarten, it promotes expression, creativity and individuality. Let's start painting!
