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.

During my three years of teaching, I have never seen so many kids get so excited as when I announced the prospect of a school animation club. My school primarily serves minority low-income households. I have been teaching mathematics at this school for 3 years and the experience has definitely been a fulfilling one, both for me as well as for the students. I also have prior experience as an animator.

The parents of these kids are a great source of support, but often they are working during the evenings when the students are getting home, leaving the kids unsupervised. What I want to do is use this enrichment club to not only extend the school day for my kids so that they have a place to be after school, but also to reward them for their hard work in their classes. I want to provide experiences that they would never have otherwise.

In order to cater to the interests of the students, the club will have three focuses: two-dimensional traditional animation, three-dimensional stop-motion animation, and comic book writing. We will be helping the students to create stories and make their stories come to life! To do this, we will need: - newsprint paper for gesture drawing activities - art sketchpads for every student to explore and refine his or her ideas - tracing paper for comic book writing activities - hard art pencils that will retain their point (4H).

This is a unique opportunity for our students, and with your support, we can make it possible!
