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

Help me personalize my students learning, with the Cricut machine, I will be able to make class t-shirts for my little cubs. I can personalize their water bottles. We can make personalized cards for the parents, I want my students to develop their individuality, and learn to develop their imagination. I want my students to learn to stand out, and not be afraid of their uniqueness. The Cricut would help me and help my students to develop their creativity, while inspiring them to embrace their uniqueness. Help me teach my students to stand out and be proud.
