My Project
As my students work on this quilting project, they will not only be creating beautiful and cozy items for the daycare, but they will also be developing important life skills such as: fine motor skills, problem solving and teamwork and collaboration.
As they work on the quilt they will improve hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
They will use their critical thinking as they learn to navigate patterns, shapes, and colors, developing their analytical thinking. As they work together this will foster a sense of community and cooperation among students, as they share ideas, resources, and knowledge.
By quilting, students will learn valuable skills that can be applied to various areas of life. These skills will be transferable to other subjects and future projects.
Through the process of creating the quilts for the daycare, students will gain a deeper understanding of the needs and experiences of others. This will help them develop empathy and a sense of responsibility towards their community.
By making something with their own hands to donate to a worthy cause, students will experience the joy of giving and the value of selflessness. This will promote a sense of social responsibility.
My students will be contributing to a meaningful cause while developing their skills and character. Here are a few aspects that make them special:
My students are :
Young philanthropists
By choosing to donate their quilt to a daycare, students are showing a willingness to give back to their community and make a positive impact on the lives of others.
Creative thinkers
Students will be applying their creativity and imagination to bring this project to life, showcasing their unique perspective and individuality.
Compassionate individuals
As they work on this project, students will be demonstrating empathy, kindness, and a desire to make a difference in the world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
