Crocheting Classroom
While I was crocheting my blanket I was thinking about how I would go about teaching my future students to crochet. I believe having posters on how to complete particular stitches would be beneficial for students to read and see how a stitch is made while being able to refer back to the page when…
Crocheting into the Curriculum
Crocheting is a form of art that students can engage in representing their ideas and learning. Since there is a high level of interest in crocheting in my before and after school program with kindergartens to grade six. I wanted to look further into how I can use crocheting in the curriculum.

Digital Deals
Discussing digital literacy with everyone is important because the online world is evolving more quickly than people believe. Technology and accessing the internet to communicate with others is a technique the world has adapted to and can not continue without because it will affect the daily lives of everyone.
