Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Having Cricut and Cricut press in class would make the exercises more creative.

Teaching the class Family and Consumer Science which entails many different standards such as Careers, Textiles and Apparel, Interior Design, Consumer Service, and Early Childhood.

I incorporate various activities that include crafting. Ex. much cuter puppets will be created for the early childhood unit. During the entrepreneurship unit, students can use the Cricut to create their clothing line and tote bag. These machines will be used for grade levels 7th and 8th.

I'm asking for two machines to make working with the 25-30 students per class easier.
