My Project

A Cricut Maker will open my classroom to more possibilities that will enhance my students' learning and broaden their creativity. This machine offers the broadest range of tools for cutting, scoring, writing, and adding decorative effects. With assistance from the staff in the room students can design their project and have it cut out on vinyl, fabric, and other materials. When using this machine, my students will have countless opportunities to display and share their creative masterpieces proudly. They will also have opportunities to create and personalize artworks and print them on mugs, bags, or ornaments to gift them to their families.

With the diverse needs that encompass a classroom, the Cricut will serve as another means of differentiated learning.

A Cricut Maker in my classroom will enable me to more effectively make resources and manipulatives that are directly related to the individual needs in my classroom. I would use the Cricut Maker to create children's name tags and label class materials so the children can keep the classroom organized.

Along with all of the student benefits, the Cricut will also benefit me and the other teachers in the building. We would be able to make the resources in our classroom that relate more to the topics that we are learning about in our classroom. We can create fun, seasonal, and unit-based visuals and props for a multitude of activities throughout the school year. With the Cricut machine, we would be able to create decals for the floors around the school that can help them move and learn while transitioning between classes. The decals can include jumping, counting, animals, exercises, shapes, colors and more.

The Cricut Maker will be a great asset to our classroom that will be able to be used for years to come!
