Elective Class - Let's Learn to Knit

My students need 50 pairs of knitting needles and 140 skeins of yarn. Thank you for reading my request.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Thank you for looking at my request. I am a 6th grade teacher in a middle school. We are in a high-need community.

My students come from families that struggle financially. Approximately 50% of the families qualify for free or reduced breakfast and lunch. At the same time, school budgets continue to be reduced.

I would like to teach my elective class to knit. In the past our home economics teacher has taught knitting and told me how enthusiastic the students are. She also told me that knitting is a valuable crossover skill.

Your help will make it possible for me to teach my elective class to knit. While the students may be very eager and willing to learn, they may not be able to provide the materials. Thank you!
