My Project

As a gifted magnet teacher, it is my goal to create a dynamic learning environment that appeals to all of my diverse learners. My classroom students thrive on creativity This cutting machine will help students to learn about new technologies and to become more independent, creative thinkers. There are so many uses in class for a Cricut 3 cutting machine like designing and creating eye-catching presentations and bulletin boards throughout the year. As a teacher with students from so many ethnic and cultural backgrounds, it is my goal to provide my students the opportunity to learn about the world around them, through celebrating cultures and holidays from around the world like Lunar New Year! We will use this for art projects throughout the year, to design, create, make, and use our designs for our STEM projects as well.
