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

This project has a plethora of purposes! I am asking for a Cricut machine, supplies, a carrying case, a GoPro, and chargers for our new (used) iPads! Our students have been using a school Cricut machine to create stickers, shirts, and stencils. They have been LOVING creating with this machine! So much so that they want one for our classroom. Along with this I am asking for a few accessories to accompany the machine. A carrying case, some tools, and some vinyl.

My students let their creativity show when working on projects.

To help with this I am also asking for a GoPro for students to use on projects. Students will be able to use this GoPro for anything they want to help them with their learning.

I am also asking for some chargers and cubes for our new to us iPads! I was able to purchase some used iPads but unfortunately they do not come with chargers. I I have asked for 6 chargers to help accommodate this need. I have also asked for a couple of books that students have been requesting!

My students have also been working on social skills when they eat breakfast. We have been learning how to set the table, how to use silverware appropriately, how to converse with others, and much more! To help with this, I am asking for cloth napkins and conversation cards.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my project!
