My Students

I've been blessed all of my life with having the best students. I can't recall a year that wasn't awesome and fun year-round. The kids come into class with a thirst for knowledge. It's clear that they love my school and are excited to try new things, join different clubs, and make new friends. In my class, we act as a family. We encourage each other, we laugh together, and hey, we even sometimes disagree at times. We look out for one another and really push the value of love and aloha.

My Project

In class, I'd like to do more personalized lessons including a poetry unit, Shakespeare unit, and debate unit. Within these projects, I'd like to help students personalize their projects using Cricut materials and teach them how to make sign, labels, graphics, tables, and charts.

Having the Cricut material will help engage and spark creativity among the students.

I was thinking of students using a tri-board fold out presentation board, dioramas, posters, etc. I think using this Cricut material will help push students to get hands-on with their projects and possibly cut back on their computer usage a little bit.

This will also make the projects fun!
