My Project

I am a fourth-grade teacher at a Title I school located in California. The majority of my students are of low socioeconomic backgrounds and do not always have the necessary equipment to participate in team-based activities, arts and crafts, or extracurricular activities that provide equity. It is always a joy to expose students to new things and see their minds and knowledge widen.

Teaching World Culture is important in the classroom and this year students will learn cross-stitching with a Chinese New Year theme.

Learning a new hobby is important at a young age. When you teach something new to a child it will carry on to their adulthood. Teaching crocheting/cross stitching is not easy, but it teaches children to learn to follow directions, and it encourages inclusion. Once they master the basics they want to learn more.
