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 Students

My students are enthusiastic, eager to participate, and learning all the time. The time devoted to creating these positive experiences with young children is time well spent. My preschoolers are full of wonder and endless questions.

They love to create all kinds of projects!

Their imaginations are the best!

My classroom is a community in which all students feel comfortable, safe, and respected to share all of their ideas. My students inspire me to be a better teacher everyday! They are wonderful little people!

My Project

I am requesting a Cricut Maker, vinyl supplies, and accessories to help us make exciting bulletin boards, help organize our classroom, and make labels to individualize materials for my students. The Cricut machine is a perfect choice for teachers who want to create engaging projects. They provide quality and ease to help organize your classroom by labeling. You can cut vinyl decals for custom water bottles, wall décor, or label student folders. We will also be using the Cricut Maker in our math and science lessons. In addition, the use of this machine will allow us to make labels for student's binders, bins, tubs, backpacks, desk, cubbies, and math centers.

The Cricut will create endless artistic possibilities!

My students really enjoy the interactive bulletin boards. To create our bulletin boards we are tracing and cutting out letters, buying letters, coloring, and cutting out pictures, or writing directly on the bulletin board paper. This is a time consuming process. The Cricut machine will be used to create engaging displays and bulletin boards for students. The machine will be a huge time saver and offers a wide variety design options. Students need a welcoming and engaging environment to learn, grow, and thrive.

Thank in advance for your help and support!
