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

Being an educator is more than just standing in front of the students and teaching academics. Being a teacher is also teaching them how to be creative by using different materials than just color pencils and crayons. For example, students can design poster boards for presentations for the end of each ELA unit, students can personalize shirts for Hispanic heritage, Black history month, field day, and many more special occasions.

This is why our classroom will benefit a lot by having a Cricut machine that will help us work on projects and bring them to the next level.

In this project you will see a Cricut kit that have everything we need and different color papers!

Thank you for your donations!
