My Project

Hi all! This is my fifth year teaching special education in the city of Philadelphia at a Title 1 school. I am very excited to start the school year! My students and I will be in a whole new classroom which I hope to make a welcoming home! Our classroom needs a lot of TLC and with the Cricut the opportunities are endless. The Circut machine will give me the ability to create labels, charts, visual aids, Word Wall, schedules, student portfolios, personalized items, and much more!

Visual aids and behavior charts are essential for my students with IEP's to be successful in my classroom.

I thank you for taking the time to learn about my project! This machine will allow us to create many things that will enhance my students learning and allow me to meet their needs.
