Cricut Again!

Help me give my students a Cricut Maker 3 and the necessary accessories to keep their projects going!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kelly's classroom raised $571

My Project

Last year, my students and I asked for a Cricut to make t-shirts to sell for a fundraiser for our end of the year field trips. This year, my students are OBSESSED with our class Cricut. They all have the app on their iPads and nearly every day, I see a little body jump up from their seat and run to the Craft Corner to grab a piece of vinyl or paper to create a new project they found online. So far, they've made stickers for their notebooks, paper flowers, and have somehow convinced me to iron their names and all kinds of designs on to their backpacks. The class Cricut can get busy, especially when there is a new holiday to create decorations for.

I'd love to give my students - and colleagues - a second Cricut to use.

I have students from other grade levels asking can they come to my class to personalize their school swag and while I would love to let everyone use it whenever they would like, there is just not enough free time in my day. I am asking for a Cricut and a few accessories we would need to get the second station going.
