I take pride in creating a beautiful space for my students to learn and grow. Every summer I spend hours designing a classroom that allows my students to feel welcomed and invigorated by everything that surrounds them. I want my students to take a more primary role in designing our space, and these resources will allow students to design and create a space that they feel more ownership and responsibility for upkeeping throughout the year. With the Cricut Maker and the Easy Press, my students will be able to create their own materials for bulletin boards to beautify our space. This Cricut Maker and the Easy Press will also allow me to include more creative and hands-on opportunities for my students to learn new material. I believe high school students should not be deprived of rich learning opportunities just because they are older. Every student should be allowed to get in touch with their creative side. Every unit I design includes multiple opportunities for students to express their knowledge in multiple ways, from trials to a social experiment where they become handmaid's for a day, to United Nations delegations where they find solutions to real-life problems. With a Cricut that will help me design more opportunities that deviate from the conventional methods of learning, I am sure my students' learning experiences will be enriched. Another benefit of having a Cricut is to help me decorate for top scholars celebrations. Every quarter I celebrate the top scholars in my classes and transform my classroom into a restaurant for the afternoon. My students feel special and appreciated during these occasions primarily because of the thought and details that go into their invitations, menus, and decor. I want to continue providing these opportunities in a cost-effective manner for all of my students.
