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

My preschoolers and I would benefit alot from having a cricut machine! This machine is so versatile, it can be used in many ways in the classroom. It can create learning mats personalized with the students' names, letters or numbers. Students' learning will be geared to them personally.

It will create a print-rich environment, a classroom that is literacy and math-rich, personalized, and visually pleasing.

I can create name plates for each of the students' desks, label their belongings and make bulletin board cut outs and letters. Educational resources that I plan making are illustrations for stories to better engage students and math manipulatives. The possibilities are endless!
