Sew Much Fun!

Help me give my students different supplies needed to learn how to sew and knit!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. von Achen's classroom raised $240

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Montessori curriculum is vast and emphasizes teaching the whole child! In this project, I am asking for a variety of materials that would help teach my students the practical life skills of sewing and knitting.

Doing handwork like sewing and knitting is not only fun but also helps students build valuable skills.

These supplies will allow my students to begin sewing and knitting. They will enable them to learn to tie knots, thread needles and even knit. The plastic trays additionally will help keep our new sewing tools and lessons organized!
