My Project

I am asking for a Cricut Joy machine so that I can quickly create materials for my classroom. With it, I will be able to quickly print out letters for the alphabet, sight words, numbers, nameplates, signs, etc. Being a primary teacher, a lot of hours are spent cutting out materials for student workstations, crafts, classroom labels, and everyday materials. The number of engaging activities I can create for my students is endless!

The Cricut Joy will allow me to create engaging materials for my classroom and also allow items to be personalized for my students.

Creating and cutting activities will go a lot faster which will allow me to create more activities and materials for my students. I look forward to having the students help create personalized pencil cases to use in the classroom as well as creating workstations for my students. I will use it to create practice worksheets for names, letter and sight word playdoh mats and games, math work boards (addition and subtraction), etc. Thank you for your help.
