Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We are working with stations in our classroom. I have a fiber station where students can build puppets, work with yarn and various unusual materials like plastic and bubble wrap!

Many of my older students have asked me to show them how to crochet and knit like their moms and grandmas.

I have tried to create crochet hooks with popsicle sticks (that really didn't work so well) and knitting with pencils (not successful). I want to show my students how to use the proper tools to create with fiber.

There are lesson connections I can make with where fiber comes from (cotton from plants, wool, and yarn from animals) which can help my students make connections to their everyday use of fiber. I also want to introduce them to contemporary artists who use fiber in their artwork.
