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 Students

I teach general education students as well as special needs students. My school is in a very urban location. We are located in Paterson, New Jersey. Most students are not dominant in the English language. Our school has breakfast in the classroom and lunch in the cafeteria because much of our population struggles with having basic needs met.

My students love to come into the art class even over Google Meets because they have a chance to become critical thinkers and independently create original artwork that relates to them on a personal level.

They can explore their emotions and release their frustrations by tapping into their inner thoughts and creating artwork that inspires me and others to keep creating and evolving artistically. I am inspired by my students daily.

Art therapy is a creative method of expression used as a therapeutic technique. Students will create art that will help them understand their emotions, relieve stress, and create positive and uplifting artistic pieces. Students will learn how to become more intuitive and self-aware.

My Project

As a low-income school, my students receive complimentary breakfast, lunch, and there is even a unique program that comes once or twice a week with fresh vegetables or fruits for the students to sample. Many of my students receive items as part of this beautiful program are perishable items. I want a place to store perishables like milk, fruit juices, fruits, and vegetables so that my students can have them for the next day. We often run out of milk from one day to the next, and only half the class will have milk for their cereal, but if we had a refrigerator, that would help. PreK students with their tiny bodies eat small meals, but they have to eat frequently. Another factor is that PreK has their lunch slot early in the day to allow the rest of the school to have staggered lunches due to COVID restrictions, so an AM and PM snack time is essential. It's hard to ask our students to stay focused and engaged when their tummies growled.
