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

In our preschool classroom, creativity is the heart of learning! My students are full of imagination and wonder, eager to explore and create. To nurture their creativity and develop essential fine motor skills, I’m requesting a Cricut machine. This versatile tool will allow us to design and cut intricate shapes, letters, and crafts that will elevate our art projects and hands-on activities.

With the Cricut, we can create engaging learning materials like letter puzzles, name tags, and themed decorations for storytelling.

It will also help us personalize projects, encouraging self-expression and a sense of accomplishment. The machine’s precise cutting capabilities will enable my preschoolers to focus on assembling and decorating, fostering hand-eye coordination and dexterity.

This resource will inspire my students to dream big and create freely. Your support will bring their ideas to life and make our classroom a hub of innovation and joy. Help us unlock the potential of young minds, one craft at a time!
