A Cricut to Create Happy Students

My Students

My first-grade students are part of a classroom that celebrates all of their special needs, gifts, and talents. As a class, they come together from many different cultures, languages, and abilities. They all work hard and love to be challenged. However, sometimes they need help meeting these challenges.

Every child can succeed; sometimes they just need different tools to help them on their journey!

My classroom is a happy place where all students believe that they are able to succeed and that they are supported both in and out of school. School is a place where we work hard and persevere through challenges. We work in large groups, small groups, partnerships and individually throughout the day.

My Project

Our classroom is full of amazing ideas and learning! My students are free to explore and are inspired to think out of the box and just go for it! From our table talk discussions to creating individual projects that can be combined to be one.

My students need almost everything personalized so the idea of learning to design their own personalizations would be very special for them.

Students can cut vinyl decals for custom water bottles or lunchboxes. Quickly make folder, cubby, and work center labels. They can create posters, charts, and banners for group projects and presentation. As I can create labels, motivational stickers, and graduation diplomas!

This smart little cutting and writing machine makes it easy to personalize anything but more importantly will become a perfect addition to our classroom materials. These great tools will support working and learning together with ownership!
