This quarter brings with it a brand new after school program: hair braiding. I have partnered with the sixth grade science teacher to create a program where participants will learn the art of hair braiding in a variety of styles. These students will be able to create a portfolio of their accomplishments in this program, that includes pictures and strategies for how to complete each braiding process. In preparing for this program, both me and the other teacher have been braiding other students hair as advertisements for the program. Having students in the school with their hair braided by one of us, has caused students to develop an interest in the art of braiding. I believe this will be a great program for students to learn a new craft and walk away from it with a valuable skill. I know from experience that it is often very easy to make extra spending money by braiding family and friends hair.
