In a previous post I shared photos of the children playing in our "old fashioned" pretend area. It was created to look like the home in Ox Cart Man - the book that set the stage for our look at family life in mid 1800's Vermont. In addition to pretending, the children tried their hands at weaving, sewing, and designing quilt squares. The inspiration for the Quilt Square Challenge was a book called Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt. It's a fun story about a rivalry between the men's and women's quilting clubs in a small town. When the quilts fall partially in the mud on the way to the competition, the groups are forced to redesign a joint entry using parts from both quilts!
Below you can see samples of our weaving, sewing in action, and our class [paper] quilt. Below THAT, you can see us back to the learning materials of today- having our first session with chromebooks and checking our Dreambox, a math application.
