FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Morales's classroom raised $394
This project is fully funded
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
For dual language students, navigating two worlds can be a vibrant tapestry of creativity. A Cricut can act as a magical loom, weaving together their languages and cultures into unique artistic expressions. Imagine crafting greeting cards with heartfelt messages in both tongues or designing T-shirts adorned with playful proverbs from each language.
The possibilities for visual storytelling explode!
A Cricut allows them to personalize everyday objects – notebooks, phone cases, water bottles – with bilingual puns and inside jokes, strengthening their connection with both cultures and their peers. It fosters cultural exchange, encouraging them to share their creations and explain the hidden meanings behind them. Beyond words, Cricut opens doors to visual vocabulary expansion. Students can create flashcards with vibrant images and bilingual labels or design interactive games that reinforce grammar and pronunciation through playful cutting and pasting. A Cricut empowers dual language students to become cultural ambassadors, not just translating words but translating emotions and experiences through the power of their own creativity.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
