Mrs. Calkins' Cricut Kids
This project expired on March 31, 2023.
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The Cricut machine is a piece of technology that cuts out materials that are designed by the user. Students in my Cricut STEAM class use graphic design to create projects on the computer and then cut them out using the Cricut machine. Students are creating projects such as Christmas ornaments and gift tags, T-shirts, stickers, water bottle and mug designs, bulletin boards, and many, many more.
In our Cricut STEAM class students are able to express their creative side while learning many important skills such as graphic design and entrepreneurship. This class not only gives students life skills but a fun class that students look forward to. Please help by donating to help get materials needed for all of these fun projects!
