My Project

Help my students purchase a Cricut maker to cut, write, and add decorative effects for future projects. More specifically, I want to get crafty with my students as they create 3D buildings with the Cricut maker during the building study.

My students are the most eager students to learn and do not let their hardships outside of school hinder their excitement for learning.

The irons will be used to create props on clothes for our dramatic play such as doctors clothes, restaurant materials, shirts for our field trips.

This project will help my students understand that buildings come in different shapes and sizes. I want my students to understand that architects design buildings for people all over the world. These will make a difference in the classroom by helping students create their own buildings with the craft making machine. Student can make 3D buildings using the machine and be able to create a small city in the classroom. I believe my students will enjoy designing and creating their very own buildings with this project!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
