My Project

An elementary classroom should be a fun and colorful place to learn. Using a Cricut in my classroom can make our learning exciting with countless opportunities for hands on activities. Special needs students do better when they are able to use objects to enhance their understanding in every subject, especially in math and science. With the use of objects they can manipulate, they develop a more thorough knowledge of math and scientific relationships. With these supplies, my students are excited to make items to add to the school store which can help our community.

My students will use these material to sell their creations and use all the proceeds to help others in our school community.

Doing this will instill the importance of community service.

Creative outlets to express this new knowledge solidifies their learning.
