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 Students

My students are from a small border town in Texas. It is a rural community of majority Hispanic. Many of my students are incredibly talented however severely underfunded. Many of my students come from underprivileged families that live below the poverty line. Their willingness to succeed and learn new skills is real.

The students are eager to learn and grow in my class.

I want to provide them with supplemental material to inspire them to further their education outside of the classroom on their own.

My Project

After coming back to school from an entire year of online learning, our students are doing insanely well in art class! Participation and effort have greatly increased and the kids are excited to try new materials! Our students compete every year in the state and local competition and often do incredibly well. I am looking forward to teaching them new media they can then use for future competitions. (We always do great btw!!)

We have some carving tools to create pottery but we are missing a few vital items.

Unfortunately, with the budget our school graciously provides to us we can't afford to buy clay. Since they've been keeping their promise of doing well in class, I am trying my best to get them the materials they are eagerly looking forward to try!!
