My Project
My students attend a public Pre-K through 8th grade Montessori school in Cleveland, Ohio. Our school is comprised of students from all over our city, which has one of the highest poverty rates in the nation. Our Montessori students follow a child-centered approach to develop each child physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. Students learn in multi-age classrooms and remain with the same teacher for several years. My classroom is a STEAM Lab, where each student spends at least 8 weeks using technology and other building materials to create.
Our students love to make things, but they especially love to make things for others.
This project allows them to build upon the sewing skills they have already learned to make felt food toys for the Pre-K and special needs classrooms. The new sharper needles and needle threaders are an exciting step-up for our students and fit right in with our Montessori program, allowing them to be even more independent by threading their own needles. The larger hole in the needles and sharper fabric scissors allows them to learn embroidery skills as they make sprinkes for donuts and fancy edge stitching. The younger students have requested that the older students learn to make felt donuts, pancakes, watermelon, bananas and eggs. We are excited to see the different variations our students can create through hand-sewing.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
