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

I love that my students are so eager to be hands on and learn while creating crafts. They are at such a young age that visual learning is important for them because it helps them better understand stories. With this machine I am able to cut out and draw images they can then put together themselves.

Teaching them has been a pleasure so far, and would love to make their first year of school memorable.

I cannot wait to start doing more arts and crafts with them. The unlimited amount of projects coming their way is exciting!
