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

Working with small children requires a lot of creativity and visuals in order to keep them engaged and on task. using a Cricut machine will allow me to create visual boards and to do create activities related to thematic units. Also, I will be able to use the Cricut machine to create projects related to holidays since they do not go to art classes. I also requested a laptop that will be designated for the use of the Cricut machine. Having a designated laptop for the Cricut allows me to take it with me and create projects at any time.
