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

Art and creativity are the road to self expression. When students begin school they are also given plenty of time to be creative. The students will be given the tools they need to create what they can imagine.

Creativity is the key to problem solving.

When students are given time and tools to create, it also gives them time to problem solve.

Working with clay and painting on canvas also demonstrates to students that how important their work is. Being able to display their work in the classroom so families can see also instills a sense of pride.
