My Project

We would like to have to opportunity for students to create a classroom environment that they can feel comfortable and proud of. Having a Cricut and accessories would give students the chance to take ownership in the set up and learning tools that are posted and used in the classroom.

Creating a positive learning environment promotes creativity, problem-solving, and social interaction among students with varying abilities.

Working together to be creative can create opportunities for meaningful engagement. They can also explore technology using computer-aided design to create activities that can further the creative aspects of a project.
