My Students

I have a class of diverse learners with diverse needs. Some of my students are English language learners, some have learning disabilities, and some are gifted. One thing all my diverse learners have in common is that the students spend this year learning the foundation of knowledge and skills they will need as they move forward in advanced grades.

Our school serves students in grades TK-5 and provides rigorous academics, fantastic teachers, and a safe learning environment.

As a result, we are consistently one of the top-performing schools in our area. Our goal is to prepare our students for success in school and in life.

My Project

A Cricut is the ultimate smart cutting machine. It can cut several different materials like paper, vinyl, cardstock, thin wood, leather, fabric, and more. A Cricut inspires creativity for the classroom, the home, and all kinds of DIY projects.

Cricut can make teaching aids.

Teaching aids such as charts, models, and so on are very important for learning. They help to improve the comprehension of new topics and concepts. They can also be used to illustrate new concepts or skills. Teaching aids can also eliminate boredom by enabling teachers to present new information in new and more exciting ways. With a Cricut, I can create exciting charts or very accurate models/ diagrams which will help my studens learn in a fun and exciting way!

With a Cricut machine, I can cut intricate shapes, models, and designs very precisely while doing something totally different. This be very useful in math will learning about flat and solid shapes.

A Cricut is a useful tool! It will allow me to enrich my students learning all while making my classroom a personalized welcoming environment for my students!
