Funded Jun 24, 2021When I created the project to get the Cricut, my main goal was to create an environment that felt warm and welcoming for the kids as well as a classroom that they felt ownership of. That is always my goal at the beginning of the year. I genuinely believe that with the help of the Cricut, I helped make that environment a reality for my students as they came to school for the first time since the pandemic began.
I was able to create labels and signs that would have been either too difficult before or just not possible. I have attached pictures. You can see that the kids names are everywhere. In their cubbies, mask station, bulletin boards and the classroom door. The designs i have been able to create really accentuate the kids works beautifully. I think I have nice handwriting, but I definitely don't have Cricut handwriting!
The kids have transitioned very well into the new school year under these very special circumstances. I'd like to think that it was in part because of the environment I was able to create. Thank you so much to all that donated because this would not have been possible without you!
