Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are eager to learn and experience new things. They truly enjoy working with their hands and applying real world skills with concepts that they learn in class. They love fashion and seeing how the sewing machine works and what it can create, through measurements and fabric.

My Project

The students will be able to explore the many uses of sewing and how everyday items that they wear can be re-created in their own image. It will also increase their math skills and language skills. They will be able to verbalize orally and through written expression the steps they used to create and complete their projects. These hands on activities will allow them to merge hands on/real world experience with curriculum based learning. They will be able to pull resources from home to re-create to make their project special.
