My Project

We are asking for supplies to use with a cricut machine at school!

Having supplies to use with a Cricut machine in the classroom offer numerous benefits, including enhanced engagement, personalized learning experiences, and the development of creative and problem-solving skills.

Having supplies for a Cricut machine enable teachers to create customized learning materials tailored to individual student needs and interests. For example, tactile aids can be created for visual or kinesthetic learners, and personalized flashcards can be designed with audio recordings.

Having supplies (permanent vinyl, weeding tools, a brayer, transfer adhesive) to use with a cricut machine will encourages students to explore their creativity and develop hands-on learning experiences. They can design and create various projects, from classroom decorations to educational manipulatives, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in their work.

Students will learn to learn to design, experiment, and troubleshoot challenges as they work on projects together.

Teachers will also be able to use the heat transfer vinyl to add student names to the backs of their shirts and create new shirts for field trips! We recently went on a field trip and quickly realized our black shirts were not going to cut it. We need BRIGHT colors shirts so we could easily count our student to assure their safety!

We are also asking for a large classroom time to help ensure that all students get the same amount of time creating their artwork as well as offering a visual to the students to know when their time is up.
