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

The Cricut Joy is a fun little machine which will give students the opportunity to express their imagination. I teach history social science, in addition to an advisory class of 19, 9th grade students who I will have for the next 3 years. Teaching government and U.S. History, there are projects including posters, visuals, "bumper stickers," election "slogans," and others in which the Cricut Joy would be a great addition for students to create visuals to help in understanding the content in a creative way.

My students are humble, fun, creative, human beings, who love learning and learning in creative ways including the use of technology.
