My Students
Our school proudly represents an international community that speaks many languages and represents many cultures. Our multicultural mosaic gives our school a global perspective with high expectations for academic success. The students are highly motivated; the families of these children expect a guarantee of success. To assure the children's academic success, it is vital to provide only the best resources possible.
Students can only achieve if they have the necessary tools to do so.
The families of our children have sacrificed much to be in this country and the children hope to fulfill their families' dreams for success. For that reason, we try to bring the best resources to our students in the hopes of realizing high expectations that will lay a foundation for future opportunities.
My Project
Even in our high tech society, weaving still has a significant role to play and the skills need to be passed on to future generations. Art is all about being unconventional and thinking outside of the box.
Weaving is vital for daily living; beginning with the clothing we wear, and textiles used in our homes such as towels and bedding.
We also rely on weaving to potentially save our lives such as seat belts, winter clothing, and ropes. With your help, I can bring some wonderful weaving projects to the students!
Students will learn the weaving process, connect with other world cultures and expand their artistic repertoire. They will increase their dexterity and learn that art making can include many forms. They will learn about form and function in the creation of weaving.
Students will each create their own weaving project that has some cultural significance to them.
