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

Throughout COVID-19, our students did not get to share and play with certain toys/materials together in order to keep them safe. These materials, if purchased, will give each of the students an amount, so they will not feel left out. My classroom has not had all the materials it has needed in order for the students to be able to explore through art. Students with learning disabilities are easily forgotten when other classes get to do more art focused work. I want to use these materials to explore and learn kindness with social emotional based art activities!
