Getting Creative With 3rd Grade!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Simmons's classroom raised $577

My Project

This project will serve the needs of four different third grades classrooms. We will use the Cricut to create organization within the classroom, fun bulletin boards, projects, and class t-shirts. I work in a Title I district where the students can't always afford extras such as class t-shirts and materials for projects and learning fairs. This year I designed a class t-shirt and a handful of students couldn't afford a shirt and they were not able to procure a poster board and materials for their projects. I found myself thinking if I had the right tools I could provide these items at a cheaper cost. Overall, this project will help several students!
