Our 8th Grade Technology and Living students have been working diligently to master their hand-sewing skills — and their hard work has truly paid off! Over the past few weeks, students have learned how to thread a needle, sew on a button, and use both the running stitch and the overcast stitch with precision.
To put their new skills to the test, each student designed and created their own felt monster! They began by sketching a pattern, cutting out the felt pieces, and hand-sewing every detail together. The creativity and craftsmanship on display were incredible!
Now, these adorable felt monsters are off on a special mission — they’ll travel to elementary schools across our district to become desk pets for kindergarten students. This service-learning project not only strengthened our students’ sewing and design abilities but also allowed them to make a positive impact on younger learners in our community.
A big round of applause to our talented Technology and Living students for their hard work, creativity, and generosity!
