Rumpelstiltskin - Who?

My students need yarn and looms!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students have no idea who Rumpelstiltskin was? They have never heard of the story before! They know nothing about it or weaving for that matter!

My students are wonderful creative artists living in the inner city.

They have tough home lives and not much to entertain them. Many do not even have crayons at home. So exposure to different types of arts can only happen in the classroom. While teaching the kids, I mentioned the old fairytale of Rumpelstiltskin and my students were fascinated! They have never heard of it before!

My Project

Kids will love the cheerful bright colors, snugly softness of the yarn. This yarn will lend itself to so many different craft projects. We can make wonderful collages, sewing, use as accessories, and of course weaving. I can connect art to so many other subjects like social studies, math and even science! I can teach them so much with weaving!

With your donation, I can connect weaving to not only the appreciation of Native American cultures, but also the Greek myth of Arachne!

We can create patterns and understand how clothing is made. Last but not least, I can make a connection to the wonderful old fairytale of Rumpelstiltskin!
