My Project

This Cricut machine will allow me to provide students with the opportunity to design and create materials. With the reading series that we are currently using we have days called Pause Point Days. Our most recent unit revolved around poetry and students were able to create and share poetry during a coffee shop presentation with hot cocoa. Our future units will revolve around different cultures and time periods.

I want to bring their knowledge to life using their creative minds.

I would love to allow students to create props, materials, etc. to help them build better background knowledge on these topics.

We will also be able to use this machine and materials created to better serve the school and community during our 4th and 5th Grade Student Council meetings by allowing us to create specific items during special events throughout the year.
