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
I work at a title one school in Phoenix, Arizona. My students are in first grade and are 6-7 years old. I teach a diverse group of 24 students.
The school year has just begun and I can already see they are happy, creative, curious, and energetic learners.
These are very sweet students with loving supportive families. I have taught many of their siblings in the past. I look forward to a wonderful school year with them and their families.
My Project
Having a Cricut Explore Air 2 will help in all areas of our classroom from labeling the room, centers, book bins, cubbies, water bottles, personalizing projects, learning to read, and much much more! In first grade learning to read is KEY! Labeling not only helps organize a classroom, but exposes students to environmental print in a fun and modern way! Students will gain the benefits of reading in a variety of text and keep interested in learning to read. ESL students will also have the opportunity to develop communication skills through print. In addition, by being able to print out letters and words students will have hands on opportunities with them during centers. This will also benefit students in writing as they will be able to reference the word walls and text throughout the room.
As times are changing, this is the new innovative way for teachers to add a print rich environment to their classrooms, develop print awareness, and practice emergent reading.
This really is the best tool any teacher could own! Happy teacher=happy students! :)
More than a third of students from low‑income households
