This tool has added so much creativity and color to our learning environment.\r\n\r\nWe've been using it to make beautiful bulletin boards, classroom decorations, and personalized materials that celebrate our students and their hard work. The Cricut Joy has also helped us make thank-you cards, birthday surprises, and holiday crafts, giving our students meaningful ways to express appreciation and joy.\r\n\r\nWhen the Cricut first arrived, my students were amazed to see it cutting out shapes, letters, and designs. They loved watching their names and classroom phrases come to life in bright colors and fun patterns. It's been especially rewarding to include students in choosing designs and helping with assembly — they take pride in seeing their ideas displayed around the room.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to create holiday cards and gifts to share with staff and families. This project helps students practice social and fine motor skills while spreading kindness and gratitude.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us make our classroom a more cheerful, welcoming, and creative place to learn and grow!","fullyFundedDate":1723166796735,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-special-education-students-wi/8571560/","projectTitle":"Empowering Special Education Students with Circuit Joy Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wendy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9224629"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42835","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1434,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":78.1,"schoolId":42835,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fruita Monument High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fruita Monument High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/mesa-county-valley-school-district-51/fruita-monument-high-school/42835"}
