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

Finding materials for all learners with learning, speech and language delays can be challenging. Having a Cricut Maker 3 will allow me to create individualized learning materials to meet my students' individual needs. With the Cricut Maker 3, I will be able to create materials for my visual and tactile learners, sensory and textile materials, fine motor manipulatives, communication supports, and personalized rewards and incentives, just to name a few.

Having the ability to create customized learning materials that cater to the diverse needs of my students will allow them the opportunity for engagement and accessibility in the classroom.
