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.
My Project
This project will fund a Cricut cutting machine to enhance student engagement and creativity in biology and environmental science classes. The Cricut will be used to create custom educational materials, student-led projects, and interactive classroom displays that support hands-on, visual, and project-based learning.
As a biology and environmental science teacher, I strive to make learning active, creative, and relevant.
A Cricut machine will be a powerful addition to our classroom, allowing students to design and produce their own visual models, infographics, labels, and interactive materials for projects.
