Cricut Joy for Kids

Help me give my students a Cricut Joy and supplies for student art projects!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reda's classroom raised $453

My Students

Our classroom is our home away from home. We all come together as a community for lessons and fun activities. However, our resources are limited. We are in need of tools to help meet the needs of each individual learner in our classroom. Right now, my students are learning at home, and many do not have the materials they need in order to be successful.

Our students come from a wide range of cultures and families.

In our classroom, we are one big family and we are part of a larger school community. Some students struggle with daily academic skills, especially those students who find traditional learning activities difficult. My students need the option of fun, alternative activities and lessons to support their learning styles.

My Project

While we are learning at home, I can use the Cricut Joy and supplies to make cards and other projects to send to the students. The Cricut Joy allows for quick & easy set-up and cutting using an app. Once we are back at school, students will be able to use the Cricut Joy in the classroom.

Students will be able to design and create their own art projects - stickers, cut-outs, cards, and iron-on decals using the machine!

Students will design their projects in the Cricut app on our iPads. They will have all the materials they need - paper, vinyl, and tools - to bring their vision to life!
