Celebrating 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.
I am the advisor for the Best Friends club at our school. This club consists of peers with and without disabilities interacting 2 times per month. I collaborate with students and teachers to develop fun activities to promote friendships, socialization and communication opportunities for all to enjoy.
The Best Friends program at our school allows students with special needs to make life long memories and new friends.
I am fortunate to be their advisor and create, plan and execute new and creative activities every year.
When we have a craft activity, we usually have to cut out and prepare materials by hand. This is very time consuming and challenging for us teachers who also have to plan for our classroom day to day needs.
My Project
The Best Friends Club at our school serves between 80-120 students per year. As the advisor I create, purchase and plan all activities. Most craft tools we use are used only once and then thrown away as we usually prepare tools for each event by hand cutting out and preparing our own supplies. The Cricut machine will save our teachers so much time and provide us with a
Access to our own button making machine and extra supplies will provide us with many years of fun button making!
The Cricut machine will provide us with new ideas to keep middle school students engaged during craft activities. The extra materials will allows us to use this machine for more than simply cutting card stock, eventually our club could use the machine to create materials for fundraising.
