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.
Crafting Change: Empowering 4th Graders through Craftivism
Our project, Crafting Change, is a dynamic exploration of Craftivism and peaceful protest for our 4th-grade students.
The specific items we are requesting, including knitting supplies, sticker and button making materials, needlepoint kits, and banner-making materials, play a crucial role in fostering a creative and educational environment. These resources are essential for our students to delve into the world of craftivism and express their perspectives on various social issues such as climate change, women's rights, LGBTQIA rights, mental health awareness, police brutality, and immigration.
The requested craft supplies will provide hands-on learning experiences, enabling students to become experts in a chosen craft. Knitting needles, yarn, and needlepoint kits will allow them to develop fine motor skills while creating intricate pieces that convey powerful messages. Sticker and button making materials will facilitate the exploration of visual communication, empowering students to express their thoughts succinctly. Banner-making materials will encourage teamwork as students collaborate to create impactful visual statements. Our students will not only gain practical crafting skills but also develop critical thinking and communication skills as they tackle complex social issues through their chosen craft.
Our project goals extend beyond the acquisition of craft skills. We aim to foster empathy, critical thinking, and civic engagement by connecting the art of crafting with social awareness. By creating craft art pieces that take a stance on important topics, our students will learn to express themselves while gaining a deeper understanding of the world around them.
What makes our students special is their enthusiasm, curiosity, and resilience. Despite their young age, they are eager to engage with the world and make a positive impact. Crafting Change provides a unique platform for them to channel their energy into meaningful projects that contribute to their personal growth and the community.
