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

Starting out our year with colorful art projects integrated into our design process will help students become excited and focused early on. Colorful sketch pencils will allow us to decorate our classroom in imaginative ways that show our ingenuity and artistic skills as we explore science and math. Can you remember those special times in your classrooms working on creative pieces of work?

These projects can be down inside and outside using the Crayola colorful chalk to draw large models of ideas even out on the pavement.

These are the memories that will last in my students' minds for years to come. Inspiring and unique opportunities to create and imagine as we take integrate it into our STEM academic throughout our days and weeks.
