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

Hi there! I am an art teacher at a Title I school in Frederick, Maryland. That means that most of our student population come from low-income families and qualify for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. This also means that they often don't have the resources to acquire certain luxuries that other families may be used to.

I teach Kindergarten- 5th grade, and my students always come into my art room excited and ready to try new things.

A lot of my students are ELL (English language learners) which means they know very little English or none at all; this qualifies them to be in a special program while some are in both English learners as well as special education . I always try to find new projects that will inspire and encourage my students' creativity and imagination. My student's love to impress and get verification that they are doing the right thing during a project.

My Project

Help us provide some new and clean rugs for the art room! These rugs will help our students be more comfortable and serve as flexible seating in the art room. These new and clean rugs will be a great replacement for the outdated and overused rugs that we currently have. It is important to us that we help our students in whatever way possible and seating is a big part of that. I try to have as many different seating options that I can and these rugs will help support many of my students.
