As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. They are always eager to learn. My students don’t have much at home so when they come to school I want to provide them with as many things as possible. I like to promote a safe and fun learning environment for my students since their lives at home might not be the best. I need my students to feel like they can trust me and appreciate me as much as I appreciate them. Due to the pandemic, they are currently doing school from home which poses many problems for my school families.
My Project
My amazing students have been working incredibly hard both at home and in the classroom. While getting ready to have all students hopefully come back to school in the upcoming months I want to be able to make creative labels for my students to label their supplies in the classroom. Due to Covid-19, there are no more sharing supplies which can sometimes be hard for Pre-K students to understand.
With the Cricut machine, I can personalize student's supplies with their own name so that they know which is theirs and overall alleviate spreading germs in the classroom.
I will use the Cricut to put each student's name on all of their personal supplies so that there will be no confusion when we find a piece of supplies on the floor. The machine would also allow me to label materials around the classroom so students can begin to recognize items around the classroom, such as looking at the beginning letters of each item. The items in this project will also be used for years to come in many ways such as creating personalizing students' work areas and cutouts for interactive learning.
