Hands-On Learning: Cricut and Craft Supplies for Exploration

Help me give my students Hands-On Learning: Cricut and Craft Supplies for Exploration. In our classroom, learning comes alive when students can actively engage in hands-on, experimental activities. We need essential supplies to bring these projects to life.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Our Cricut machine is a fantastic tool for creating materials that support this type of experiential learning, but we need essential supplies to bring these projects to life.

With your help, we can acquire Cricut materials and additional arts and crafts supplies to fuel creativity and critical thinking.

These resources will allow my students to design their own models, create interactive learning aids, and dive into STEM experiments with custom-crafted components. Whether it's building prototypes for science projects, personalizing study tools, or creating art that reflects their ideas, these materials will help bridge the gap between concepts and real-world application.

Your generosity will support a classroom where students learn through doing, think outside the box, and express themselves through innovative projects. Thank you for helping us bring experiential learning to life!
