The moment they saw the vibrant dyes, gloves, and blank shirts, the energy in the room shifted. Students who are often shy or hesitant to participate were suddenly brainstorming designs, swapping ideas, and encouraging each other. We kicked off the project by learning about color mixing, the chemistry behind tie-dye, and creative expression. Then came the hands-on part. Each student twisted, folded, and tied their shirt in their own unique way before applying the dyes. The room was full of laughter, chatter, and the occasional \"Whoa! This is going to look amazing!\"\r\n\r\nWhen the shirts dried and we revealed the final designs, the smiles were priceless. Every shirt was as unique as its creator, and students took so much pride in wearing their creations. We plan to wear them at upcoming school events to showcase our class spirit and unity. This project not only gave my students a fun and creative outlet but also built their confidence, collaboration skills, and sense of belonging.
