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

The Cricut JOY Machine is a tool my students will use to help create and develop their creativity in our ART center. They will use it to create labels for our classroom, posters, stickers, and banners that display their products. It will also allow them to personalize items such as school boxes, backpacks, books, and binders. The use of technology that is required to operate this machine will help students develop technical skills as well as problem-solving skills.

Having this machine available to my students in our ART center it will help them be engaged in their senses in open-ended play and supports the development of cognitive, social-emotional and multisensory skills.

There are so many wonderful benefits to having a CRICUT JOY in our art center for my students.
