Help Creativity Flourish in the Library

Help me give my students the ability to express their creativity as they assist with library displays.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Burns's classroom raised $437

This project is fully funded

My Project

Each month, my Teaching Assistants and I brainstorm ideas and decide how we will decorate the library. We discuss the current and historical events associated with the upcoming month in order to determine our theme.

A Cricut machine will greatly reduce the amount of time spent on creating our posters, bulletin boards and displays as everything is currently hand designed and cut with scissors.

A Cricut machine will enhance creative projects and promote collaboration among my TAs and other student volunteers in the library.

The machine will be a valuable tool and allow students to develop more intricate designs as we continue to make the library a dynamic hub for hands-on learning! The entire school will benefit from this purchase.
