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
A Cricut machine will allow my students to become creators of many projects related to all curriculum areas. Instead of consuming the creations of someone else, they become the inventors. The Cricut machine will allow my students to become creators by using cutting-edge technology to visualize and create their own imaginations. This new and innovative technology is not readily available in public schools.
Cricut makes learning opportunities hands-on, and creative and can surely engage students who are reluctant learners.
By using a machine like this, they will learn to measure items, fonts, and images for placement and have to spell and use uppercase letters correctly. They can make and sell their handcrafted items for friends and other teachers as fundraisers for the school. They can make personalized gifts such as t-shirts, tumblers, car and cellphone decals, labels for backpacks or reading bags, posters, and cards. It will help build their self-esteem and teach them social skills, and money management.
In addition, our science, art, math, and music teachers can benefit from using this machine in their classes as well. The possibilities and curriculum integration are endless for all our teachers and students.
More than three‑quarters of 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
