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 have a fantastic group of students. I want the best for them but sometimes cutting individual materials for them takes hours. For example, my students are learning about Du Sable. During that time, trading was the best way to assess your needs. I want my students to understand that era by recreative Dusables trading business. Printing and cutting each trading piece will take hours. If my class receives a Cricut, I could utilize material that feels like animal skin making other items more realistic. Also, I will be able to create labels that will help with organization and help my students access more materials.
