Kids love to decorate their own posters, books, and word walls with cool die cut shapes that they design themselves. With a set of different shaped die, kids can pick their own shapes and design their own posters, cool bookmarks, and even bright books! Kids need different ways to engage in literature. A die cutter machine was recently donated to the classroom. The machine is easy enough for kids to use. Now, all we need are fun shapes like hearts, hands, butterflies, girl/boy, puzzle and awards for the kids to use in the machine.

I want kids to love English. I need fun ways to engage both boys and girls. Activities should be academically rigorous while making sure ALL kids explore and learn. Kids will love to die cut professional name tags, bookmarks, posters, word walls and bright book shapes for English, Math, and Science class. With different die shapes, a cutting pad and storage box, all kids will have fun picking the dies they like most. With your help, kids will use adult technology in order to enhance their own learning about English. Kids will teach other kids how to use cool adult equipment. With your help, kids will take learning to a new level!

With your donation, students will create their own Essential Word Wall using heart shapes. Students will use donated electronic dictionaries to define essential words. Students will add words and definitions to the wall they build using die cut shapes. Kids will also use die shapes for poster projects, bright books, and name tags. Both boys and girls will love cutting their own dies out of felt, foil, plastic and paper!

Every donation makes kids feel like superstars. You motivate kids by helping teachers like me differentiate. You make kids believe in themselves. People like you help teachers like me find different and fun ways to enhance student learning. Thank you for everything you do for teachers like me!
