Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
Elementary students possess an innate creativity that, when channeled into art projects, can be a source of comfort and joy not only for themselves but also for others when they aren't feeling well. Art has the remarkable ability to serve as a therapeutic outlet, allowing students to express their emotions and thoughts. Research has shown that one of the best ways to lift a person's mood is to allow them to help others.
Encouraging elementary students to create art projects for others while they are unwell instills a sense of empathy and kindness.
These projects can take various forms, from personalized drawings and handmade cards to small crafts. Including technology in the form of tablets and headphones to use while creating art, allows students with different needs to access the project. The act of crafting something with the intention of bringing joy to someone else not only provides a positive distraction for the students but also cultivates a sense of altruism and connection.
Moreover, sharing these art projects with those who are unwell in the school or local community creates a ripple effect of positivity. The recipient of the artwork experiences a boost in their spirits, knowing that others care about their well-being. Simultaneously, the students who created the art projects witness the impact of their creativity on someone else's happiness, reinforcing the notion that art has the power not only to heal but also to strengthen bonds within the community.
More than half of students from low‑income households
