My Project

I already have a knitting club in my classroom and I would like to invite more students to my club. Knitting provides my students an outlet in which they can be creative, discuss life and school.

I teach my students how to knit hats which they can keep or we donate them to the local refugee center.

This provides sense of community and makes my students feel good about giving back, when they have so little to begin with.

By learning how to knit, children apply their discipline, focus and coordination to create an item of value and practicality.
