My Project

A classroom should be a place our students want to feel welcomed in. It is a second home to them, and a place where they feel free to express their creativity. As an English Language Arts teacher it can be difficult to motivate the kids to read and write, but I've noticed that once you spark their interest with creativity, they are motivated to do well and succeed. Any time we do a novel based project, even the most withdrawn kids seem to open up, and when they see the cutting machine at work, Silloutte Cameo Pro 4, they can't wait to make their own work shine, or to see their writing on a bulletin board created using this fabulous machine. Please help us get this versatile machine into our classroom so my kids and their work can shine like the stars they are!
