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

Students love to use their hands and imagination to create new things. Having a Cricut in the classroom will give my students many opportunities to create different things. They will be able to label supplies, label things around the room. They will also be able to make t-shirts, stencils, mugs, etc. Students will use little journals for notes, or to plan their new creative ideas.

It would be so fun for the students to explore and create new things.

Students also need snacks for the long school days such as fruit snacks. I know my students will benefit from these learning materials and I can't wait to show you all that they will make.
