Crochet for Stress Relief

Help me give my students crochet supplies to learn how to cope with stress.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Raub's classroom raised $477

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are in the Philadelphia School District and I teach Geography as well as American History. I would like to continue to reach my students through their interest in history and I want to do so with a hands-on project.

I want my students to make a quilt square that reflects their emotions through this year so that it can be put together into an art quilt.

Through this reflective and hands-on project, I hope to make American history geographical education tangible.

Students always learn better when they can relate to the subject and have something tangible to see and to do. Crafts, Art, and Quilting are directly related and tangible to Historical Studies. I hope to use art quilts to achieve a superior and interactive experience for my students.

My Project

I teach in the Philadelphia School district and students often lack coping skills to deal with stressful environments. Yarn art has often been shown as a coping skill for stress relief through repetitive motions and through creative processing.

I hope to show each student how to deal with stressful environments with both repetitive movements and through the creative process that can be found in the skill of crochet.

I have often found as an inner-city school teacher, that having a student concentrate on a skill with their hands can help with emotions and with attention span.
