Celebrating 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.
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are the best in the world.
Despite the challenges they face, they embrace each and every day with smiles on their faces. My goal is to expose them to all of the great cultural activities that the world has to offer. I know that they have the potential to be great athletes, they just need the chance to be exposed.
My Project
Our school is located in an impoverished community where there is extremely limited exposure to the arts. Although students love art class in school, there are very few, if any, murals in their neighborhoods. With this in mind, we strive to provide students with everything they need and can imagine within our school. I believe that art education trains our country's youth to become productive, contributing and creative members of society. This 'All for One and One for all' dream project will include having students brainstorming why we must take responsibility for caring for our multi-cultural, diversity and inclusion. Next, they will collaborate with the renowned Joe McKinney, who is the most highly sought after muralist in the state of South Carolina, to bring the multi-cultural, diversity and inclusion murals to life.
The integration of multi-cultural, diversity and inclusion has never looked sweeter!
This collaboration will make our students aware of their responsibility to cherish and preserve the World around them. Our students will also embrace a new found pride in their own capabilities as artists! Thank you for your help in assisting us 'Teach for the Planet' with murals!
