Celebrating 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
My young learners truly enjoy walking into a Reading Lab filled with colorful, age-appropriate decorations that make learning feel exciting and inviting. A Cricut Maker 3 would be an incredible tool for creating custom posters, banners, and thematic displays that bring our classroom to life and spark curiosity.
Beyond decorations, the Cricut Maker 3 would be a valuable resource for both classroom organization and instructional support.
It would help us clearly label bins, folders, and materials—allowing students to navigate their learning space with confidence and independence. It would also contribute to a rich print environment, which is essential for early literacy development.
This versatile machine would help me create: Interactive word walls to reinforce vocabulary and sight words, phonics games using reusable letters and hands-on activities, and reading progress trackers that encourage goal setting and self-monitoring. We can also create storytelling props to boost comprehension and narrative skills, and student-designed projects that blend creativity with literacy learning.
By integrating the Cricut into our classroom, I’ll be able to enhance student engagement, foster creativity, support personalized learning, and maintain an organized, inspiring space for every reader.
