MY students were thrilled when I showed them the supplies we had received! The quilting book, fabric and mosaic supplies are incredible. The first way my students interacted with the materials you donated was to map out our collaborate quilt making project. Students arranged the quilt squares in rainbow order. They choose rainbow colors to emphasize that our classroom is inclusive of all people.\r\nAfter creating the design, they sewed the squares together and made the top of of the quilt. Next they quilted the top. Lastly they chose the board fabric for the quilt.\r\n\r\nThe mosaic stepping stones will be completed in April as the weather warms up and we can be outside. The stepping stones will beautify the walk way to the Career and Technical Education Demonstration Learning Lab where my students are hosting free playgroups to local families with preschool age children.
