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

Hello, my students are jumping on the wagon of crochet! I would love for them to have the materials to create yarn friends together!

Crocheting has the capacity to create a safe space, where students can pause and relax.

All while they listen to music and talk with their friends. As an art teacher, I know how creative my students are, if they have these materials, we can create a school-wide initiative where students can create and exchange these crochet figures! Students need a safe space to unwind, and I will plan to use all these materials in the art club that is now turning into a crochet club!
