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

I would like to begin this school year by adding supplies and equipment to my art room that will promote student agency. Simply put, student agency gives students voice and choice in how they learn. When students are agents in learning they become creative, critical thinkers who have a deeper understanding of content and a higher motivation to learn. The materials listed in my project will do just that. My students can use the iPad to research and write about art topics that interest them. The camera on the iPad can be used by students to capture pictures and videos of their best work or works in progress. The Apple Pencil will be used in endless ways to practice art skills. The flexible seating will open up the art room and provide students with alternative places to explore their imagination and create. Finally, the colorful baskets will encourage independence and responsibility in my students by giving them the organizational tools needed to care for the art materials.
