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

Using a Cricut machine in the classroom is a fun and creative way to support student learning through engaging, hands-on activities. This powerful tool allows students to explore academic concepts in a tactile and visually exciting way—turning lessons into memorable experiences filled with creativity and joy.

With the help of the Cricut, I plan to set up interactive learning stations throughout the classroom to inspire curiosity, motivate students, and create a fun and supportive learning environment.

From building word puzzles and math games to crafting visual aids and personal projects, students will have the opportunity to learn by doing.

This project will serve a Title I, low-income school, where many students have limited access to creative tools and enrichment opportunities. By bringing the Cricut into our classroom, we hope to expose our learners to new ideas, spark their imagination, and show them that learning can be both fun and meaningful.

Thank you in advance for supporting our project. Your generosity helps us build a classroom where students feel inspired, empowered, and excited to become lifelong learners. We can’t wait to cut, learn, and create magic together!
