The 'Felt Monster Project' at Abington Middle School, led by teacher Carlee Dougherty, bridges the gap between 8th grade and kindergarten students through creativity and craftsmanship. Kindergarteners design unique felt monsters by filling out worksheets that detail the monster's name and personality. In turn, the 8th graders learn sewing techniques to bring these designs to life, crafting tangible dolls. This collaboration not only enhances the sewing skills of older students but also strengthens community ties as kindergarteners eagerly receive their handmade creations.
The 'Felt Monster Project' connects 8th graders with kindergarteners through creativity, where older students produce felt dolls based on the designs and personalities created by the younger ones.
Mrs. Carlee Dougherty's initiative fosters a sense of community and relationship-building between different grade levels via artistic expression and hands-on sewing skills.
