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

I am looking for six pairs of electric cardboard scissors for our students. I am to use these with older kids mostly third grade through sixth grade.

These scissors are fantastic for three dimensional projects and any cardboard cutting.

I am looking to use these to create sculptures, artwork, and other three-dimensional items. They are also great for steam projects that utilize recycling cardboard.

Many of our students would benefit as some cannot use scissors correctly because of physical disabilities or limitations. These would be fantastic for not only physical adaptations, but also with students using cardboard for long periods of time. Please consider getting us six scissors one for each table or group that I have in my room.
