My Project
As a teacher in a preschool room in a low-income school district, my students are faced with challenges inside and outside of the classroom. Despite the many challenges that my students are facing, I strive to provide them with a fun, interactive, safe, and meaningful learning environment. As their teacher, I try to instill the importance of communicating/listening to one another, being a good citizen and leader, and using trauma-informed techniques to aide them in their social-emotional development.
This project is for a Cricut machine and accessories for the classroom.
The Cricut will be used to make personalized and inclusive, student-centered visuals around the classroom to support various learning needs.
Having a machine will allow to create visuals tailored specifically for students as they need them.
Additionally, a Cricut machine is a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option to have in the classroom - by using vinyl and existing materials to create specific visuals and graphic aids it uses less paper, lamination, and other costly materials that consistently need replaced due to wear and tear of daily classroom and student use.
