My Project

My students are eager and enthusiastic learners! Every day is a new opportunity for them to experience something completely new, to practice something they have already learned, or to make connections to a concept that was introduced or explored at an earlier time.

As a kindergarten teacher, I strive to create an environment that addresses student needs, has a sense of order, and is a place where I can develop and sustain positive relationships both with and among my students.

It is absolutely not a reach to suggest a Cricut machine can be a tool that will help me succeed with this particular goal.

Some ways I plan on using a Cricut machine include: creating signs, posters, name tags, and supply labels; creating interactive learning centers; making word games; decorating bulletin boards; and eventually, students will become part of the planning and designing of custom objects inspired by the work we do using our curriculum resources.
