Color My Learning!

Help me give my students a printer and a Cricut so they have opportunities to learn letter and letter-sound recognition using real-life color images.

My Project

My students are amazing! I'm lucky enough to be able to teach PreK in a blended-learning classroom. I would love to be able to help my students learn to connect to the real world with their learning. We don't have color printers or Cricuts in our school available for us. Also, we have diverse learners in our classroom and it helps for them to have color images when teaching them.

For example, when we're introducing our letter of the week, we need to be able to print images for the students to be able to see which real-life things begin with each letter.
