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

These tools are crucial in developing early reading skills by engaging children in hands-on, interactive learning.

Many of our students are in need of extra support to strengthen their phonemic awareness—an essential building block of literacy.

However, we currently lack the resources to offer the full range of manipulatives and games that could make a significant difference in their learning journey.

The Cricut machine can be used for countless educational activities, including designing and cutting materials for art projects, bulletin boards, classroom decorations, and even literacy-based crafts that help reinforce reading and phonemic skills. With this tool, we can enhance our classroom environment, make learning more interactive, and spark creativity in our students.
