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

Our school has over 500 students in grades PK-5. In addition to regular education classrooms, we have a Dual Language classroom in every grade. We are located in the South Bronx. We are a Title I school. More than 80 percent of the school receives free lunch. More than 70 percent of our students are Hispanics and over 25 percent are black. Our students are at a financial disadvantage.

My class has a group of special students in the school.

They are new in the country and have language barriers, academic needs, and financial needs. They are forming new cultural identities while they work in their English, math, reading, and writing.

My class needs different ways to get engage and develop their identity. I would love to have different art supplies to tap into their artistic talent and develop their self awareness.

My Project

My students will use the paint and oil pastels to express themselves through art. These are materials and supplies that we do not have on our regular school day. These art supplies will give them the opportunity to tap into their artistic side.

Help me get the canvas so my students can paint a bright future.

The first and foremost is to give all students a chance to explore different art mediums and allow them to explore their talents. This will enhance the environment not only in the classroom but at home as well. Parents will be proud of their children's work of art.
