Creative Art Leads to Creative Learning!

My students need a Cricut Explore Air cutting machine to create fun center activities.

My Students

I have a wonderful group of students who are always excited about responsibility and learning. My students love to learn and often share the exciting activities that are completed in our classroom.

Our mission is to transform and inspire an educational movement.

We exist to inspire the children of our school through education to maximize their potential and transform society. We are continuously striving to make sure every child is successful.

We are committed to helping all of our children bring their dreams to fruition. Our school is a great community of families, educators and professionals.

My Project

The Cricut cutting machine will be used to make creative, hands-on games to practice in Language, Writing and Math centers, whole group Language, Writing, and Math lessons and activities. The CRICUT EXPLORE AIR 2 will make Math and Language projects appealing and more professional than hand writing on poster board. I would also use the Cricut in making my bulletin boards more exciting and educational for my students. These activities will provide my students with engaging hands-on activities that meets the needs of the diverse learners in my classroom. Just imagine, being able to print, cut out numbers, make mathematical signs, shapes and vocabulary words for the week! I get excited just thinking about its uses!
