Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

A group of my 7th and 8th grade students are very excited to attend a cross-stitching club for their Turnaround Arts block in school. During our first meeting, they seemed very engaged and excited to be learning about cross-stitching different murals.

My goal with this project is to get my students to learn about cross stitching which is the oldest form of embroidery and provide them with a relaxing environment to ease and relax their minds.

Please help my students so they can enjoy their time by completing a variety of cross-stitching projects. This project includes kits, cloth, and needles.
