This class is taught in English.
In this knitting class, the primary learning goals for students aged 8 to 12 are to develop a solid foundation in knitting by mastering various stich techniques, enhance their creativity and self-expression through the creation of unique projects, foster patience and perseverance as they work intricate design, and cultivate collaborative skills by building friendships within a supportive crafting community.
I am a highly skilled and experienced teacher with 20 years of knitting expertise. I have extensive knowledge and mastery of various knitting techniques. I hold certifications from the Craft Yarn Council as a Level 2 Certified Knitting Instructor and a Certified Master Knitter. I embrace the principles of the Waldorf educational style, creating a nurturing and holistic learning environment for young crafters. With a focus on hands-on learning, natural materials, and artistic expression. I try to incorporate Waldorf- inspired elements into the knitting curriculum. Fostering a sense of connection with the materials, promoting fine motor skills, expanding math skills, and encouraging patience and perseverance. This helps provide a well-rounded and enriching experience for the learners, aligning with the Waldorf educational approach.

This engaging homework assignment not only helps them solidify their grasp of the stitch but also provides an opportunity to showcase their progress and creativity through their own unique square designs.Assessments Offered

In additional, if necessary or requested by parents, a written report summarizing their growth and achievements can be provided.
