My Project

My Kindergarten scholars learn better through hands-on experiences and project-based learning. They are able to internalize the content better when they make connections to the real world and their lives.

This Cricut Machine will help my Kindergarten scholars create, display, communicate, and produce amazing projects that show their passion and joy for various Kindergarten topics.

My students will research topics that interest them. They will then be able to plan and collaborate with their peers on how use the Cricut to best show and present their learning. Finally, they will be able to present their projects to families and our school community.

A few of our upcoming projects will include, but not limited to; Black History Month, Animal Habitats, Taking Care of The Environment, Mother’s Day, Saving for College, and getting ready for First Grade.
