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

Our classroom is filled with curious, imaginative, and eager learners who love to create. From designing interactive bulletin boards to crafting personal learning materials, my students thrive when given opportunities to express themselves in hands-on, meaningful ways. Our class includes special education students who benefit greatly from hands-on, creative activities that support their learning and development.

With a Cricut machine, we can transform our classroom into a dynamic space that nurtures creativity.

We’ll use the machine to:

* Design personalized materials for interactive lessons.

* Create student-made projects for presentations and storytelling.

* Develop visual aids and classroom decor that reflect student work and ideas.

When students see their ideas come to life, they become more engaged, motivated, and confident in their abilities. A Cricut machine will help us create a rich, inspiring environment where every child can explore their creativity and build essential 21st-century skills.

Thank you for considering our request. We are grateful for your support and belief in the potential of our students!
