Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our Pre-K students will soon be exploring creative curriculum clothing unit. Please help give our students the opportunity to sew, weave, lace, and button a variety of materials.

These hands-on materials will have them engaged and enhance their learning during the clothing study.

Students will have the opportunity to use a kids sewing machine to make clothes and accessories. Students will also learn to weave on a loom and use plastic canvas to "sew".

Providing these materials for our students will help them understand the concept of clothing, while helping their fine motor skills.
