Hey Everyone!
The project is looking great! You all have so many great ideas. I am down in Charleston, SC with all the kids having a great time. While I was touring downtown Charleston, I met a woman who made her own quilts! They were beautiful... and for each one I looked at she could tell me a story about what the patches meant and why she chose them. It was amazing to listen to her. This gave me an idea of having the students make their own quilts with patches that are significant to their lives.
I spent about 4 hours this week researching stories about quilts for my ELA lesson and I also found some great tessellation sites for my math project. I am just having a hard time uploading them so I am emailing my lesson ideas to Mike F. and he will post them for me. Thanks Mike!!!
Talk to everyone soon.
