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

My students are some of the most creative little people I know. They have so much to offer and really thrive academically while working on PBLs. A classroom cricut cutter would facilitate a lot of their designs and tasks when creating models and infographics. It would also help them explore computational thinking and the science behind design. Another use for this paper cutter would be classroom organization and beautification, the ability to create our own signs and labels will take our lab time to a different level of efficiency and organization through pathway mapping. Students will use the paper cutter during STEM projects to cut model parts for 3D paper models, they will also use it to create infographics and Science Fair displays.
