My Project

My students love creative projects and getting to display their learning in ways other than Powerpoint presentations or papers. As a special education teacher, I am always looking for tools and ways to support my students' creativity and ability to show what they have learned to share with me and our class. Having a Cricut machine and the supplies to use with it will allow students to find a creative outlet to display their learning.

A Cricut machine will allow students to get creative with posters, bulletin boards and door decorating as well as to make creative models to show their learning.

With the machine, we need a cart to store the supplies so they stay organized. We also need cardstock, mats, replacement blades and tools to use the machine most effectively.
