The Class of 2007-2008
Spring 2008

| In February we began work on our classroom quilt which we are making out of recycled/reused clothing. To learn more about quilts we had a special guest visitor who is Amelia’s great-aunt Twila. The children really enjoyed seeing all of the quilts that Twila has made, and they learned more about how quilts are put together. Twila later sent our class a note saying that she had just as much, if not more fun, than the children. |  |

My class has an ancient traditions of inviting Teacher Mary to visit us every St Patrick’s Day to tell her Irish family stories. The children were especially interested in the photo of her ancestors’ home that she brought with her. |

In March we launched our theme for the second half of the year – water. The children did the first in a series of science lessons in which they explore and experiment with water. The children also created stunning watercolor paintings illustrating their visions of water.
