My request is for a Cricut Maker to use in my classroom. The Cricut Maker is an incredible piece of machinery that can use an assortment of blades with a huge variety of materials. Along with my sewing machine,​ the projects are limitless. In the classroom, the Cricut Maker can be used to make fabric letters, chipboard 3D models and puzzles, floor vinyl transitional stickers, felt puppets, dolls, costumes, custom calendars, window clings, label materials, containers, cubbies and pencil boxes, class shirts, library totes, crafts, memory games, decorate bulletin boards, borders, and banners, it can also be used to make positive and motivational quotes. By funding this project you will be providing my students with creative hands-on learning. It will allow me to provide my three year olds with a great academic beginning. Thank you in advance for considering this project.
