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

My students are so creative! They truly engage with handmade projects and crafts. They love to work individually, at their own pace, making their own personal visions take shape and come to fruition!

Knitting has been proven to decrease stress and increase peace of mind!

I've seen this phenomenon at play, up close in my classroom. Some of my most difficult, distracted students have been absolutely thrilled to learn how to knit and make projects for members of their families. Our newest project is to "knit-bomb" our playground and entrance to our school's front doors. We just need some new colorful materials to share among grades 2-6!
