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 students have a strong love for the arts, and I intend to foster that creativity. I want my students to be able to leave senior year with skills that will allow them to be competitive in the arts job market. Right now, our students are learning how to incorporate a digital aspect to thier typically traditional projects.

It is my goal to incorporate graphic design into their current curriculum.

These gift cards from teachers' pay teachers will give me the opportunity to review various thoughtfully created lessons and adapt them to best fit the needs of my learners!

Thank you!

Ms. Escalera John Dewey High School Grades 9-12
