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 requesting basic art materials and supplies, like crayons, markers, glue sticks and watercolors, to help support our English language development here at school. As part of our learning we make personal dictionaries, do lots of cut and paste activities, solve matching and puzzle games, and use art to express ourselves.

Creating art is vital for students because it fosters creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression.

Art offers a unique avenue for exploring emotions, perspectives, and ideas, allowing students to communicate in ways that transcend language barriers. Through art, students develop problem-solving skills, learn to embrace ambiguity, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Additionally, engaging in artistic endeavors promotes empathy, cultural awareness, and appreciation for diversity.
