Having a cricut machine will mean so much to both my students and me. It will allow me to label everything throughout the classroom to make print/literacy more present. I would be able to label leveled books, bins, create amazing bulletin boards for them, materials, learning stations, student work and even their own material so their things are more personalized. This will show my students they are important and they deserve the best learning environment possible. Many of my students come from low-income families who can't afford much, which to me is heart-breaking. This Cricut machine will also allow me to create personalized gifts for my students throughout the school year. Things that I know they truly need. This will bring smiles to my student's face which is priceless and one of my biggest rewards as their teacher, a simple smile.
