My Project

I would love to have a Cricut maker, along with assorted accessories and materials requested in this project, to personalize our classroom. Using the Cricut maker to create custom bulletin boards and word walls would help me capture the students' attention and really engage them in the learning process. It would encourage student participation and make our classroom attractive and welcoming. Many of my students are English learners, and I am excited about using the Cricut to create word walls and manipulatives that they will be able to use.

My students are enthusiastic 8-year olds who work hard and do their very best at school, and I am looking forward to using this Cricut maker and materials to create a warm inviting space where students can grow and thrive.
