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

Project-based learning can help students be successful in our complex world. Projects assist students with problem-solving in real-world scenarios, as well as improving academic achievement. It creates a personal connection between the students and the academic material that makes the learning process purposeful, relevant, and more meaningful.

A Cricut machine and accessories will elevate the quality of the art and projects that my students produce.

Creativity is an integral part of the classroom. This resource would give my students real-world, hands-on experience. In addition, this resources will assist my students in clubs and other activities around the school.
