My request is for a Cricut machine to use in my classroom for several purposes. The Cricut can be used to create individualized flashcards, writing prompts, bulletin boards, manipulatives, and creative extension projects. I would use the cartridge to print alphabet letters in a variety of sizes and materials. The population of students I am teaching this year varies from ESL, Special ed, and General ed students by having Cricut machine it would greatly decrease the amount of time I spend prepping and allow me to focus on teaching. My classroom also has a great area that can be featured as an interactive word wall. (Area is seen in picture!) By funding this project you are allowing me to put more time into teaching and less time into prepping. You are helping me to provide my students with hands-on learning. Thanks in advance for considering my project.
