My Project

I am writing to request your support for a special project that combines creativity with sustainability. As an educator, I am always looking for ways to engage my students (multilingual learners) and foster their love of learning a new language. With the help of a Cricut Maker, I believe we can create amazing business plan to help students on their quest to be financial stable throughout life while giving back to their school community. This projects promotes sustainability and eco-friendly practices. By utilizing the Cricut Maker, my students will learn English language while creating projects hands-on. These projects will be used around the school to help our high population of ESOL students read signs, directions, and as an encouragement tool. My students will be challenged with asking teachers what they need for their ESOL students and coming up with a business plan to support our students and teachers.

With its precision cutting capabilities, my students can create letters, numbers, unique designs, and shapes that can be used in various math/reading/writing/speaking/business projects.

The Cricut Maker is a precise cutting machine that allows us to cut and shape a variety of materials such as cardboard, fabric, and even recycled materials.

By integrating the Cricut Maker into our classroom, I can teach my students about the importance of sustainability, the benefits of recycling, and the importance of helping their fellow students while also helping teachers. We can also explore ways to reduce waste and reuse materials to minimize our environmental impact. These lessons will help our students develop an appreciation for community service, helping others, and to make a positive impact in our school and their community.
