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

I teach Art at an amazing school in south Florida. It is nearly 100 years old. Our school is a K-8 center with over 900 students. I teach grades 2 through 8. There are approximately 100 students in each grade.

Most of my students are first-generation Americans from low-income households and in the process of learning English: their parents often come from Central / South America.

The kids love Art class. I offer them a range of arts-based activities each year, including photography, making tie-dyes and producing collages as well as painting and drawing.

My Project

A 'Cricut' machine will really expand the range of projects available to the students. The children will make designs on the computer and then send these to the 'Cricut' machine. The 'Cricut' can turn the kids' designs into a variety of projects. It produces paper, vinyl, sticker paper, craft foam and faux leather versions of the designs. These can be used in collages, bulletin boards, T-shirts and more. It should inspire the children to get creative - to think outside the box and produce new art projects in a range of unfamiliar materials. I can't wait to see a 'Cricut' in the classroom!
