Do Crocheting and Literacy Really Have a Connection? - Update

Hello,

A quick update on the progress of my students and their crocheting.

The students are creating a variety of projects. Some have decided to make coasters, others scarves, and others are making hats!

During our choice time in the classroom, some students will sit around a table to crochet while one student reads aloud to them. They take turns passing the book around the table to read.

Another positive for the students learning how to crochet is that they talk about how relaxing it is to sit and crochet while they visit with friends during recess or watch TV at home.

All in all, a great success!

Happy Reading,

Kathleen
