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

I love how unique and creative my students are. They light up when they see their names on the wall, earn personalized rewards, or get to create something that feels truly theirs. Every one of them learns differently, and I do my best to make our classroom a space that feels exciting, welcoming, and tailored to their needs.

A Cricut machine will allow me to bring lessons to life with visual supports, hands-on activities, and classroom tools that are both functional and fun.

I’ll be able to create engaging bulletin boards, labels for organization, behavior incentives, and customized materials that support differentiated learning. This tool will help me make our classroom not only more organized, but more inspiring for every student who walks in the door.
