    Funded Feb 1, 2025

    Thank you so much for you generous contribution to our class. My students were studying living things. They each made handprints and choose their favorite animals to transform their handprints into. We then uploaded their images on to the Cricut and printed their images and then transferred that imagine on to t-shirts. This was such a fun activity. They could not believe their artwork was on their very own t-shirt. They wore their t-shirts proudly on our field trip and they enjoyed the attention they received as the other students complimented them on their t-shirts.

    My students were able to use what they learned about living things to share their knowledge with their peers. The equipment will be used to continue our fun in learning in all subjects and they will have a chance to express themselves in unique and creative ways. As we celebrate Autism Awareness and Acceptance month we are creating Super Hero Capes using our Cricut and accessories. The students will decorate and share a Super Power they have with their typical peers. Sharing the learning with their peers is such an amazing experience for my students and myself as well. I am very grateful for your donations and for the opportunity to utilize these gifts to help my students use their voice.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Natal

    Our class was so excited to receive our Cricuit and all the accessories! It was quite difficult to decide on which project to start first and how to make a meaningful impact. We decided to use our new supplies to create a project to include in our school wide Black History Month celebration!

    We gathered information and researched famous Black Jazz Artists that performed in Harlem such as Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Chick Webb and Duke Ellington! We then carefully created hand puppets of our favorite Artists using the Cricuit and some felt and yarn I purchased. The children were elated to put their works of art on display and to share their talents with their typical peers.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Natal
