Help me give my students an opportunity to practice life skills for the unit on transitioning to adulthood in which I would like to give them an opportunity to practice how to sew a button and mending skills.
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
Students taking interpersonal studies will be learning about transitioning into adulthood. As a result, learning to sew a button will be part of the adulting 101 lessons in class as it is a skill not often known to adults among others which will be introduced. Not many of the students may have someone that knows how to sew or have self-knowledge of the topic.
Requesting embroidery floss, needles, felt, among other supplies will help in introducing the skill.
The goals for this project is for all the students enrolled in interpersonal studies to have the opportunity to learn a new skill such as hand sewing which will allow them to be self-sufficient as adults.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
