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

First grade has to be the most creative, imaginative, friendly, sweetest, enthusiastic kiddos! Their brains are sponges and are always excited to learn new things. Unfortunately, our school doesn't have any arts and crafts classes, so as a teacher, I still have to deliver a little bit of art into my day. I started teaching them how to use a laptop, and I am glad they are picking up fast! Not only that, but this cutting machine will allow my students and me to create learning materials that will enhance visual literacy skills and help present images that will empower my students to be self-directed as they utilize laptops or iPads. As I am still getting to know my students, I love having them do hands-on projects to reinforce the science and mathematics they are learning. My school is very eventful, so I know we can get the best of Cricut, especially for the following months as the holidays approach, and we love to express ourselves through art and cards for our families. We will do a lot of fantastic stuff with Cricut and can't wait to share it with you and show you our cool art!
