Crochet Creatures

Help me give my students the social emotional crochet support creatures they love!

My Project

When preparing for the State test, the third, fourth and 5th grade students at are extremely stressed! Although we prepare for months by taking practice tests and even run a Saturday school program to help support our students, its still a stressful time of the year. Not only do the students take an ELA test, but a math and science one as well!

In order to alleviate that test taking stress and anxiety, I want to create crochet support creatures for all of my students.

One in particular is a wiggly worm! There is even a poem that goes along with it! 'When worries start to cloud your day, this little worm will light your way! Hold it tight, and let it stay, a tiny friend to chase fears away!' We need supplies such as yarn and crochet needles.
