I would love to be able to provide my students with a Cricut machine and Cricut tools to help them learn in a creative way. For those of you that do not know what a Cricut is, let me explain. A Cricut is an amazing electronic cutting machine. Just as a printer will use ink to print what you put on the computer screen, a Cricut will cut out the objects on its screen. This machine will allow me to differentiate my instruction.The possibilities are endless. I believe it will really help those students that need the hands-on experiences. The Cricut will help all of my students by allowing them to manipulate things such as letters in a word,it will allow me to differentiate instruction, and also create different innovative bulletin boards that will engage the students. With this machine I can have more hands-on, memorable lessons that will make learning fun and exciting, for not only the students this year, but for years to come. I believe active and concrete experience is the most powerful form of learning. The Cricut will enable these types of opportunities and allow me to bring hands-on learning to life. The materials my students and I will create using this machine will support the curriculum and promote growth in all areas of development.
