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

Often when we are drawing, coloring, and doing art projects, my students question what color they should color the people. In a regular box of crayons, there are not many choices.

I want my students to be able to depict people of various cultures and backgrounds in their artwork.

The "More Than Peach" educator's bundle I am requesting includes 30 More than Peach™ Sketchbooks, 30 packs of More than Peach™ multicultural crayons, 30 packs of rainbow crayons, and access to the More than Peach Curriculum Resources. These resources will help my students create beautiful multicultural artwork.

Thank you for considering the funding of this project. My students and I greatly appreciate it.
