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

In our library, we are dedicated to fostering a vibrant learning environment that not only cultivates a love for reading but also encourages creativity and self-expression. As part of our interactive read-aloud sessions, students actively participate in meaningful discussions, culminating in engaging craft activities. These art endeavors serve as a unique avenue for students to delve into their imaginations, refine fine motor skills, and take pride in their creative expressions.

As the devoted librarian at Zeferino Farias Elementary, my commitment lies in providing a dynamic and stimulating space for our students to learn and grow.

To achieve this, I am seeking assistance in acquiring art supplies that will be instrumental in elevating the creative experiences of our students during library classes.

Art activities provide a unique avenue for students to explore their imagination, enhance fine motor skills, and develop a sense of pride in their creations. The following items have been carefully selected to facilitate meaningful artistic experiences for our students:

1. Crayola Jumbo Crayons: The jumbo-sized crayons are perfect for early learners, promoting better control and coordination. The vibrant colors will make art projects even more exciting and visually appealing.

2. Crayola Markers: Crayola markers offer a spectrum of vibrant colors, providing students with a versatile tool for drawing, coloring, and expressing their ideas.

3. Do-a-Dot Art Markers: Dot markers are a fantastic tool for creating unique art projects. They promote hand-eye coordination, help with color recognition, and add a tactile element to the creative process.

4. Crayola Colors of the Word Markers: By offering a range of colors that more accurately represent the diversity of human skin tones, Crayola People Markers enable children to express themselves more authentically in their artwork.
