*Class
Quilts
Quilting
isn’t just for little old ladies. You can get your students involved in
quilting by make a classroom quilt using small scrapes of fabric. Before beginning your
classroom quilt, it was also be interesting to teach the students the history of
quilting. Once this is done, let the quilting begin.
This
quilt can be used to display each of the students’ names or it can be used
feature a book, a story, or other lesson that you have just completed. You can
then display the on a wall in your classroom or in the hallway. Your students and parents will be excited to
see the classroom quilt.
*Banners
Classroom
banners can be designed for a specific event or just to show your class pride.
They can also be used to summarize a recently read book or even a monthly theme
like apples, clowns, or holidays. Banners are quick and simple to make, and
they are a lot of fun for students to design.
*Tote
bags
Halloween,
Christmas, Thanksgiving or Mother’s Day-it doesn’t matter. Students can use fabric to design totes for
any season or any occasion. This is a
fun and quick activity that you and your students will both enjoy.
You
and your students can make tote bags for any season or for any different
activity. Depending on the age of your
students, you may have to pre-cut the fabric and do the sewing and ironing. However, this is a fun way to make something
that is not only cute but also useable.
Fabric
can be used in several different ways in your classroom. You can make classroom quilts, banners,
totes, and other objects with fabric.
