      Welcome to KAS, Cheryl from up in Canada above MN.  That's awesome to get your students involved.  There's a lot of schools regularly contributing to Knit A Square.  At one school they found that the more academically challenged children picked up knitting faster than the "smarter" ones (to my way of thinking not smarter, they just got higher grades) and those children ended up teaching the more "gifted" children how to knit, which benefited both groups esteem wise. Having been in the "less academically gifted group" I really love that story. They would all sit out over lunch hour under a shade tree and the "slower" kids taught the "faster ones".  We're all good at something! (though I admit my crochet efforts sometimes leave that one in doubt, lol.)

       I find KAS such a rewarding cause to be involved in and I hope you enjoy it too.  Do check out the New Member Guide which is found by clicking "Main Page" in the header above.  To reach the Discussions just click Forum above and if you click on Photos above, you will see items that are heading to Africa, in all colors and shapes, plus those that have arrived there. If you click on Groups, above, you can join the enthusiastic USA group or any groups you wish, to chat with.  Any questions just PM me. :)  So, welcome to Knit A Square! Blankets and hats and sweaters direct from our hands to their hearts, a win-win.

      Cheryl,

      I have had experience (personally) with residential treatment centers and I applaud what you do!! My son and daughter-in-law are both living in half-way houses because of drug addiction and crafts are a big part of the women's program.

      Welcome, Cheryl! I have worked with students on this project, too. What grade(s) are you working with? I'm a private tutor in an independent school in Philadelphia and I taught knitting to 3rd and 4th graders. We had great fun and produced some interesting squares! See my photos by clicking on my page. So glad you joined us!
