A Cut Above

Help me give my students and classroom a tool to explore modern day technology and create a learning environment of our own making with a new Cricut​.

My Students

This is a community of people who have built a school that is special. The students and parents know the importance of education. The children come into the classroom ready to solve a problem. They love to ponder and persevere.

An amazing group of scholars!

I work with 2nd graders who come to school every day eager to learn and share their excitement. I enjoy working with these individuals. I love their enthusiasm for learning. I know I am their teacher... but I learn from them every day. We truly are a community of learners.

My Project

My request is for a Cricut Maker Machine Bundle to use in my classroom for several purposes. The Cricut can be used to create classroom decorations, special projects, gifts for students, and classroom volunteers. The Cricut machine will greatly decrease the amount of time I spend preparing and allow me to focus more on lesson planning and differentiation in my classroom. The bundle will allow me to have the tools I need to start hands-on learning with my students.

The Cricut Maker will give my students the opportunity to explore their own creativity using modern day technology that will prepare them for the future.

It will help me spend less time prepping and more time teaching so my students can learn in a hands-on way. I would love to enrich my students’ school experience.
