Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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
The pandemic interrupted the first year of our yarn club, but we are ready to pick back up our needles and hooks and continue learning a new craft. We are requesting yarn and knitting needles to create scarves and hats. My students will learn to crochet/knit scarves and hats. While students will keep some projects, most projects will be donated to nursing homes, hospitals and other organizations in our community.
I want this project to take my students away from their technology and teach them a craft, teach them to be creative and to think of others.
We used to learn more than reading and math in school. Now our students are always preparing for the next test. They are losing connections with other each other and their community. They don't get the chance to learn that they are good at other things. They don't get a chance to create or build things. Learning to corchet/knit will teach them perseverance, dedication and altruism.
Our club will meet weekly to learn new skills, assess progress and complete our projects. Students will be able to take projects home to continue working on them and will also have the option to attend lunch sessions for continued practice time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
