My Project

I teach a bright and lively bunch of kindergarteners. We are busy learning math, reading and writing, as well as a focus on the Karen language and culture, from Southeast Asia. They are eager learners. My goal is to make our learning environment organized and engaging. A Cricut machine would be very useful.

The Cricut machine will provide many solutions in my classroom.

We use bulletin boards and displays throughout our classroom and the hallway to share information with students and to teach and reinforce our learning. Since there are so few teaching resources in the Karen language, I end up making most of the resources for my students. Having a Cricut would make this work easier and more engaging. I can't wait for my students to experience the cool things that we will make.

Thank you so much for considering our project--I know that the Cricut machine will make a big difference in my classroom.
