With your help, my students were able to take on some very special projects with our new Cricut Machine and Ipad. This past fall, my 4/5 grade students took on the huge task of remodeling our school bathrooms, which included designing and painting over 25 bathroom doors. \r\n\r\nWith the help of the Cricut and Ipad, students were able to design the doors digitally and print stencils on the Cricut machine to make the doors really stand out! We are nearing completion of this project, and the doors look incredible. The students have worked so hard and have really taken ownership of the project and they are so proud of their work. \r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, projects of this caliber that give such wonderful real word art experience are costly, particularly with the amount of students I serve within my building. Your kindness and generosity helped make this project happen, and the Cricut and Ipad will help endless other design projects happen in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1759071439424,"projectUrl":"project/beyond-the-screen-bringing-design-ideas/9531858/","projectTitle":"Beyond the Screen: Bringing Design Ideas to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Young","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5189986_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1550327992487","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/diane-young"},{"teacherId":1167244,"projectId":9281716,"letterContent":"The book The Ultimate Guide to Domino Toppling and dominos has brought a lot of fun new skills into the STEAM classroom.
