My Project

I have a class of wonderful fourth graders. Each child in my class has unique talents and abilities and they are all special to me. Social Emotional Learning plays a big part in my classroom on a daily basis. I feel it positively affects my students success in school. I would like a Cricut Maker and supplies to create an environment in my classroom that that promotes positivity, empathy, problem solving, respect and so much more. Every day during class meeting we discuss different topics and characteristics that we want to have to make our class the best it can be. One thing we do is study and discuss quotes or uplifting phrases relating to the social emotional topic of the month. With a Cricut maker, I can print out and post the quotes around our room to help promote a positive welcoming environment.

This Cricut Maker and vinyl will allow my students to create stickers (of uplifting words and phrases) to decorate their backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, notebooks, binders and other supplies.

They will have a constant reminder of these uplifting words and phrases and other students will see these words and phrases on my student’s supplies and be encouraged to be better students and citizens too.
