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

My student's capabilities are endless. While we are learning I am amazed at how their minds extend to realms I did not know they could reach at such a young age.

With the Cricut available to my students and me, we can create manipulatives, stem projects, our own anchor charts, and so much more at the push of a button.

With the addition of a Cricut, we can tailor our manipulatives in all curricula to be customized to students' specific needs and interests. I believe this will add to student engagement and creativity. We will not only be able to create manipulatives but also classroom projects and our own anchor/display charts that are created by students according to their needs at that moment. This will also help with project-based learning, collaboration, teamwork, and help classroom team building.
