My Project

In my eighth-grade math class, I am continually amazed by the diverse talents and interests of my students. They bring a wealth of creativity, curiosity, and enthusiasm to our learning environment, making each day both rewarding and exciting. What sets my students apart is their willingness to explore new ideas and concepts, their resilience in the face of challenges, and their genuine passion for learning.

As an educator, my goal is to provide my students with opportunities that not only deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts but also ignite their imagination and creativity.

That's why I am excited to introduce Cricut and printer technology into our classroom. These resources will serve as powerful tools to engage students in hands-on, interactive learning experiences that extend beyond traditional textbook methods.

My overarching goal for this project is to create a learning environment where students feel empowered to explore, create, and innovate. By integrating art and technology into our math curriculum, I hope to inspire a lifelong love of learning and equip my students with essential skills for success in the 21st century.

What makes my students special is their boundless potential and their eagerness to embrace new challenges. They are not just passive learners but active participants in their own education, constantly seeking new ways to grow and expand their horizons. By providing them with access to innovative tools and resources like the Cricut machine and printer, I am confident that they will continue to thrive academically and beyond.
