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

I am a fourth year early childhood special education teacher in a pre-school collaborative classroom. My students are young learners with various abilities. They thrive on active, hands-on, engaging activities that challenge them to think. My young scholars come to school with excitement and ready to grow both academically and personally. My students are such a joy to teach! I am determined to challenge my students on a daily basis while making it enjoyable.

My Project

We have an Ellison pro machine at our school, but we need new die cuts. I am seeking die cuts of letters and shapes used for English language development, art, math, and science. These die-cuts will also be used to create beautiful posters to display our parent workshop calendar to invite parents to be part of our learning community. Teachers and staff will use these die-cuts to maximize the number of students that will use these resources.

Students at my school have different learning modalities and they need access to more hands on activities which these Ellison die-cuts will provide.
