Help me give my students an engaging art project that improves our fine motor skills!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ekins's classroom raised $200
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Long-term projects are a powerful activity in the elementary classroom. Projects, like these stitching patterns teach kids valuable life lessons and fine motor skills. At the beginning of the day and at the close of the day, I want the second graders to be able to work on these sewing projects.
They will learn how to thread a needle, how to stitch, how to follow a pattern, how to organize tools, and how to stick with a project that takes weeks to finish.
They will learn all of these valuable skills and look forward to this crafting work each day. I already have limited comfortable seating, but the ottomans will provide another comfortable, open-seating options that at least two second graders can use as they craft.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
