Help me give my students a document camera to help them visually see how to hold a pencil, write neatly, and solve math problems using various strategies taught; this project also includes a Cricut and heat press.

I teach in an ICT classroom with 30 students. All students come from low-income households and many live in shelters. All students receive free breakfast and lunch every day. They come to school every day ready to learn and often don't want to go home because they want to continue learning.
My students are special because they are tenacious and they motivate and inspire me to be the best role model and teacher for them.
What I love about my students is their eagerness to learn. I am not only their teacher, but I am their champion away from home.
My first-grade students are extremely happy about learning this school year. Last year, my students were able to share with their peers, hug them, and learn closely with them. With the new norm, my students have learned to adjust and overcome many adversities. They are resilient and ready to take on all the challenges this school year has to offer. My students are blended learning; they come to school in person three days a week and are remote learning the other two days.
"First watch me, then you try" is the motto in my classroom because my students need a lot of visual support, prompting, examples and exemplars.
First grade is where students learn how to become more fluent writers, readers, and mathematicians, and the materials in this project will support my students with developing the skills to master all of those content areas. The Elmo document camera will help my students learn how to make their thinking visible by teaching them how to write neatly, how to use finger spaces, how to write a complete sentence, and how to know when to go to the next line when writing. The camera will help my students see strategies taught for math that they can practice using in person and when they are remote.
The Cricut cutting machine and easy press will teach my students how to become entrepreneurs as they will be completing a project where they will be creating their own business and making logos for their business. They will write/illustrate a business plan and use both machines to make their business come to life.
My goal is to provide students with the best instruction possible while ensuring they receive consistency of learning experiences in person at school and remotely at home.
