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

What I love most about my students is their endless energy, creativity, and eagerness to learn through movement and play. They thrive when learning is active and engaging, and I’m always looking for new ways to spark their interest and build confidence.

Receiving a Cricut machine will be a game changer for our elementary PE program.

It allows me to create representation of the students through customized visuals, motivational decals, and interactive games that bring our gym space to life. From colorful station signs to personalized equipment labels and themed activity boards, the Cricut helps make our lessons more organized, inclusive, and fun. These visuals support students of all learning styles, especially those who benefit from visual cues and structured routines. With this resource, I can design a learning environment that encourages teamwork, effort, and a love in a way that speaks directly to my students' needs and excitement.
