Quilting With Mrs. Singer

We are having a blast making our very own classroom community t-shirt quilt.  Students are using real world measurement skills to measure, cut, and assemble our t-shirt quilt squares.  Last Friday, students arranged the quilt in an array that had the appropriate number of rows and columns to fit the space in which we meet together as a class on the floor.  Students then shared where they wanted their square to be placed and the pattern of colors we wanted the quilt to reflect.  This past Friday, half the class met with Mrs. Singer in small groups of five to do a rough stitching of a quilt square.  The rest of the class will have the chance to do this next Friday.  We are looking forward to posting a picture of our final quilt when it is all done!  





It also just happened to be hat day!
