Crocheting Like a Champ

Help me give my students a chance to learn to crochet! We will use these needles and yarn during Flex Block to crochet.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ventola's classroom raised $210

This project is fully funded

My Project

This year our school has launched Flex Block. This is one class period a week, allowing students to try different interests. One interest that has become especially popular is learning to crochet and knit. Students who need the supplies are asking for more opportunities to learn how to do this.

These supplies will help students gain valuable life skills and feel more connected to the school!

These students will work on developing their crocheting skills and start being able to create masterpieces. Students will use the crochet hooks and yarn to create pieces such as blankets, scarves, and hats.
