My Project

My students are a group of creative and bright learners. They enjoy learning new things and doing hands-on projects. I am always looking for new and innovative ways to teach the whole child and learn new life skills. The items I am requesting today are teaching to the whole child the life skill of crocheting. Crocheting is making a comeback, and I want to teach the students a real-world skill. Crocheting is a great stress-relieving strategy and provides them with a real-world skill to gift others what they make, to keep and use for themselves, or to make income when they grow up.

Help me give my students the lifelong, awesome, real-world skill of crocheting.

I would like to give my students an introduction to the artistic world of crocheting. I am requesting a basic crocheting kit along with some animal kits to help students learn to make crochet animals for beginners.

This new skill will help to build my students' confidence in learning a new real-world skill. It is also an additional strategy as a stress-reliever. Most of all hope it will pique my students' curiosity so they continue their interest in this new skill. Please help me give my students this opportunity to express themselves artistically and learn the awesome skill of crocheting.
