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

Please help the visual arts in my classroom by making it possible for us to have an area to dry our art projects that promote science and creativity in our classroom. Students love learning about life sciences and the different life cycles that include: butterfly, chicken, pumpkin, frogs, weather cycle, etc.

This drying rack would allow students to have a space to dry their engineering projects.

For example, 3D models are made out of clay and the drying rack would help students take pride in their art work by keeping it safe while drying. They will develop fine motor, hand movement development to help their writing and art skills.
