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.
My Project
As a teacher in a Title I elementary school, I find myself not providing the vital tools for all my learners. More than seventy percent of our campus receives free or reduced-priced lunch, and a lot of my students don't have access to art outside of the classroom. My inquisitive, active learners are constantly reaching out to equip their knowledge for a successful future.
Although we live in an era where technology has become a necessary component for our students in education today, it is still important that our students are allowed to express themselves through art.
The solar eclipse glasses will allow all our students to experience the solar eclipse safely on April 8th. It is my hope to help all the students in our school view this phenomenon and recreate the scene using different art mediums with their teachers, including paints, watercolors, chalk, crayons and oil pastels. My colleagues and I see a big difference in students who are able to use art as a learning platform.
More than half of students from low‑income households
