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 Students
The best and easiest way to describe my students is that they are survivors. My class is a dual language kindergarten classroom, and I am charged with teaching them Spanish, language arts, and math. I will have two classes, each consisting of 21 highly motivated and fully charged five-year-olds.
My children and their families have been hit hard by Hurricane Harvey.
Many of my families had to be evacuated, and our school sustained a lot of damage. We were teaching at a relocation site with the basics for 4 months. We cannot ask our parents for any type of supplies after what they went through. My kids are happy to be back at their school, but we need some materials to replace what we lost during the hurricane. We hope these items would help my students adjust to yet another move and huge change in their little lives.
My Project
My students are all at an age where art and hands on activities make or break a lesson. If funded, these materials will enhance the workstations, the lessons, and the classroom itself. Bulletin boards would be done in a snap with the upper and lowercase letters and holiday cartridges. The classroom environment would be more vibrant with the variety of cartridges available for the Cricut machine in this project. I would be able to cut letters in the children's name for the writing workstation. I would be able to cut different shapes for making patterns at the Math workstation. I would be able to cut a variety of calendar pieces for the daily opening activities. Each of my students would have domino pieces to work with during our Math lesson. Each student would have their own tangram set to make their own design during our shapes lesson. When teaching the clock, I would be able to make each student their own clock to work with at their table. Who needs worksheets when you can have a variety of objects ready and available for the students!
The possibilities would be endless with all the things we could create with the Cricut machine and the variety of objects and sizes available.
The binding combs in this project would allow me to make mini books out of my students creations.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
