Cutouts and Creation

Help me give my students the cutouts needed to complete their crafts with a Cricut machine and content library. We also need a new vacuum cleaner and readers for our room.

My Project

My students will benefit from having the Cricut machine. This machine can help with many of the skills that my students struggle with.

A Cricut machine can cut various items and will give them more opportunities for identifying letters, numbers, shapes and much more.

Our classroom vacuum recently broke and we need to replace it to keep our room clean. The scholastic books will address the reading levels in our class.

The use of letters and numbers made with the Cricut will make it easier for students to put items into order and to create their name, address, and phone numbers. This is all very important for my learners to achieve. The variety of reading leveled books will allow for all readers to either begin their reading journey or continue growing through it. We clean the classroom daily and need access to a vacuum by midday. Having our own vacuum will allow for a clean floor after lunch.
