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

Preschool art and music play a significant role in the developmental growth of young children. Engaging in these creative activities offers numerous benefits that extend beyond mere enjoyment.

The impacts of art and music in preschool is beneficial to their Cognitive Development by using critical thinking and by encouraging children to make choices, solve problems, and think creatively.

Therefore, I'm asking for your support to help provide these resources to help my students. We are requesting art supplies and musical instruments to help our imagination and creativity grow.

Incorporating art and music into preschool curricula is vital for holistic development. These activities not only foster creativity but also enhance cognitive, emotional, social, and physical skills. Overall, they contribute to well-rounded individuals who are better equipped for future learning and interpersonal relationships. Creating an environment that values and integrates these creative expressions can lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning and appreciation of the arts.
