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

The kids in my class are a wiggly, crazy little group of kids whose families are from all over the world. They are learning how to sit still, listen to stories, speak English, draw their faces and learn the ABCs. We talk daily about how each of us is special and unique. We circle up every day and talk about our likes, dislikes, what we wear, what we eat and mostly our families.

Every month the children draw a self-portrait.

There is so much growth in their development. You can see it in their art! We color with skin colored crayons. I would love to add skin colored paper and paint to our monthly self-portraits.

We constantly talk about the different colors of our skin. The children look for their just right color. Having new paint and paper would be exciting for all of us. I think we could make wonderful art in TK!
