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 am asking for a Cricut Joy machine to be able to personalize items for my students. With it, I will be able to quickly print out letters for the alphabet, sight words, numbers and nameplates. Being a pre-kinder teacher, a lot of hours are spent cutting out materials for student workstations, crafts, classroom labels, and everyday materials. The number of engaging activities I can create for my students is endless!

The Cricut Joy will allow me to create engaging materials for my classroom and also allow items to be personalized for my students.

Creating and cutting activities will go a lot faster which will allow me to create more activities and materials for my students. I look forward to having the students help create personalized items to use in the classroom.
