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

My kindergarten classroom is full of curiosity and artists. My students don't always have access to art materials outside of my classroom, therefore, they take advantage of the materials available for them in class. Once they have art materials in their hands the possibilities are endless.

My students are very creative and I often find them creating masterpieces.

They create hand made birthday, special occasion, and just because gifts for their peers, friends, and families. The students also enjoy making projects and posters, it helps them express themselves and learn through visuals and tactile.
