Dear Mrs. Blain:
"I hear you, since I've been there and done that, too!"
I have brought all of my fabric from home to help students
who can't afford to buy it. Also, you could write an invitation
into your disclosure or a flyer to go home that you would be
glad to receive donations for classes, including fabric, fabric
scraps, etc. (whatever you need). Many families are glad to
find a place to use their stored-up fabrics. Many older folkd
have a supply of fabrics they're saving. Students coud ask
their grandparents, etc. I just helped my mother sort and clean
up her sewing/laundry room. She was happy to give the fabric
to a good cause. You might consider giving some extra credit
for donations. Also, after students have sewn their projects, I
offer 25 extra points if they would like to donate their thread
spool, and determine different amounts for their remnant
donations. That is lots better that having thread strewn up
and down the hallways, out to the bus, etc. Some students
would actually throw out a yard or more of fabric without
giving it a second thought! This teaches them to be GREEN!
Best Wishes,
Shelley Moser :)

July 31st I was given my tentative schedule: CTEintro, Child Dev., Business Math, Interior Design, Sewing Jr High and Sewing High.
I'm just getting back into teaching, I haven't taught for many years.
I would be extremely grateful for any ideas you're willing to share, lesson plans, and resources you have found.
I'm working in a low income school, many students won't be able to buy fabric, are you aware of any freebies or help?
Thank you so much for any help you send. JoAnne
