My Project

The addition of a Cricut and accessories in the school lbrary will be an exciting opportunity for my students to create their own designs and transform them into t-shirts, posters and more! The library is a place for my students to express themselves and a Cricut is another great way for them to see their technology skills and self expression come to life. I hope to also use it as a way to decorate our school building, classrooms, bathrooms and of course the library, and to provide extracurricular activities to students and families.

The library has become such an important part of our students' day-to-day activity as well as after school activities for students as well as the community, and a Cricut would be a way to great way to enhance that!

Many of my students learn best when their hands are busy and moving and I am constantly trying to find ways to engage them. This is a tool that could be used outside of the classroom if they really enjoy the process use technology and creativity to enhance self-esteem!
