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 would love to use the Cricut 3 Machine and the accessories for the creative journeys of our students. This innovative tool will allow students to design their own logos and symbols, which they can use to create t-shirts and cards.

The teachers often rely on the same basic art supplies like crayons and paints.

With the Cricut 3 Machine, we hope to expand their creative expression and introduce them to new mediums.

My students will be very excited, more engaged, and work more collaboratively when using the Cricut 3 Maker Machine.
