For the past decade, I've had the joy of being an educator, working with students spanning from preschool to college levels. Additionally, I've embraced the role of a home business owner for the past three years. My journey with the Cricut has been a colorful one, as I've utilized it for various creations in my shop, incorporated it into my daily life, and even brought it into my classroom. Sharing the magic of crafting with friends and family brings me immense joy. Whether it's teaching someone how to create something new or sharing my own designs, I find fulfillment in spreading creativity. In my teaching approach, I strive to simplify concepts, ensuring optimal learning for all. I believe in guiding students through each step, offering clear explanations and easy-to-follow instructions. Together, we'll embark on a journey of discovery and creation, one step at a time.
Homework Offered
Students will have the opportunity to work on projects independently throughout the week. After completing their projects, they can share images of their creations on the classroom page under the corresponding weekly video post. The amount of time spent on homework may vary depending on the complexity of the project. While students will receive guidance on how to complete the projects, the designs are entirely up to them, allowing them to create something meaningful and personalized.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

Students will be in Design Space, and will be using a Cricut. I will review safety tips, but please be sure to be nearby during projects, or explain safety with your child. In addition, in-app purchases are possible in Design Space. Please have your account not set up to purchase without a credit card, or be with your child during design to prevent in-app purchases.
