Cricut Classroom Projects

Cricut Classroom Projects

Cricut Classroom Projects are so fun and easy, once you start…it’s hard to stop!

Cricut in the Classroom

I was lucky enough to be sent an AWESOME Cricut One to try out in my classroom.  My immediate thought was, “It’s back to school season, I DO NOT have time for this!”

But…I was WRONG!  I created an account on Cricut Design Space,  super easy, and within minutes, I create my first lettering using a font on my computer!!  I always heard you can’t do that with a Cricut…but YOU CAN!  And it was not a big deal to do it all! I was so impressed at how fast it cut out the letters…I couldn’t do it in a million years!

Cricut Classroom Project #1

I decided to cut out vinyl letters for perhaps the ugliest wall in the world.

Cricut Classroom Project #2

Letters for our Book Buddy Bin!  So cute and my students LOVE to read to their “buddies” and the label makes sure admin knows it is for “learning!”

I had some left over vinyl that I wanted to use and so I decided to do these letters with no real purpose in mind…and then when I got to school I decided to add them to the outside of my classroom door.  I think it turned out super cute!!

That’s all I have done SO FAR…but believe me, I have BIG plans for my new Cricut machine. If you’d like to win one (who wouldn’t??) you can enter to win one of $20,000 worth of prizes JUST FOR TEACHERS!!
