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

One pencil sharpener in this project will be dedicated for student use. The ownership of keeping their pencils sharpened will be on them. Color pencils will support my students to complete everyday task. In Spanish class we often create fun art activities at times it is difficult for me to allow all of my classes to participate because I do not have enough materials. My students come from different backgrounds, they are loving, funny and love to learn. Support my classroom because my students and I will forever appreciate. Overall, my goal is for my students to have an engaging art center in Spanish class where they can be responsible for also caring for their material by cleaning up after themselves.
