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

My diverse learning artists are amazing! They are the definition of "thinking outside of the box" Because of their diverse needs that fall outside of the typical art supplies, they need alternative supplies.

My diverse learning artists are all about the process and the sensory element of art.

They need art supplies that helps them learn through their senses. There are many different types of clay, paints, and sculptural materials that will help them process the world in their unique way.

Please help my students get the appropriate materials to suit their diverse learning needs.
