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 Students

Our school is comprised of our city’s most talented young people, dedicated teachers, and staff. We take great pride in the rigor of our curriculum, the quality of our instruction, and the performance of our students. Our students are serious scholars who constantly strive for success. Their determination ensures that they are the up-and-coming leaders of tomorrow.

To our students, failure is not an option; it is just another obstacle waiting to be overcome.

They believe with hard work and perseverance anything is achievable. They are excited to be in school and look forward to each day's encounters. My students enjoy being challenged and love challenging their teachers. They not only question everything, but they also seek out and find the answers.

Our students, for lack of a better word, are exceptional. While our students are serious scholars, they are very involved in all aspects of the school. They belong to various clubs in the school, are involved in athletics, and tap into the creative minds through the arts. They are on their way to becoming well-rounded and productive members of society.

My Project

With a Cricut Maker, my students will have an amazing, versatile tool at their disposal. They will be able to add their personal flair to all of their work, giving them ownership, and pride that scissors and hand-drawn illustrations don't. The Cricut Maker will be a great addition to the library MakerSpace. Students will be able to design and create various paper, vinyl, and fabric creations that will enhance their projects. Students will use computers to create their projects, and then have the opportunity to see their projects come to life!

The Cricut Maker will also be of great value to the school community as a whole.

Teachers will be able to create interactive tools that will allow them to differentiate instruction, as well as amazing bulletin boards, showcasing students' work.
