In this one-time class, students will learn the single crochet stitch. We will focus on how to hold the yarn/hook, how to control the tension of the yarn, and how to make the first of many, many different types of crochet stitches: the single crochet!! We will discuss different kinds of hooks and yarns that can be used and any tips that are helpful when starting to learn crochet. Once the skill for the lesson is introduced, the students and teacher can use the time to share items that they have made (or want to make), why they wanted to learn to crochet, and how confident they feel with the skill introduced. The students are encouraged to ask any and all questions to ensure that the concept is understood before moving on to the next step. Students should already know how to make a slip knot and chain. The class will be adapted based on the skills of the students present. **A document camera will be used so the students can see an up-close view of the teachers hands.** About The Teacher: I learned to crochet in my middle school home economics class and I've been "hooked" ever since. *pun intended* :D I just did the math and that means that I have been crocheting for 20 years now. Wow! Crochet is a wonderful hobby to make something creative but also useful. I have made many items such as washcloths, shawls, scarves, stuffed toys, and blankets. Over the years, I have learned that blankets are my absolute favorite item to make. There is a crocheted blanket on every bed in my home...and on every sofa...and some are stored... I am the type of person that can not just sit and not have my hands be busy. Crochet is the perfect hobby to do while watching your favorite show for the 346th time. My hope for this class is to spark that love of crochet for every student that comes into the classroom. I hope to see you soon!

Welcome to my online classroom! Learning and meeting new people can be exciting and fun for some, but nerve-wrecking for others. This is why my classroom is a silly and relaxed place where it's ok to make mistakes and ask questions.
I have had 14 years of teaching experience in the school/home/online settings, working with students who are shy, outgoing, with special needs, ESL, and gifted. My main goal is to make sure that each student feels heard and appreciated during every class that I teach.
