LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Hello! If you would like to take part in a project connecting 50 schools
from the 50 states? It will include sending 3 e-mail messages to each
school, and having your students create 50 simple 8 inch squares of
fabric that depict your state. If you are interested...read on!
Timeline:
Anytime October = via e-mail introduce your class to the other 49
classrooms, including # of kids, # of boys and #of girls. Thiswill allow
for some graphing activities.
November 1 = e-mai to the other 49 classrooms a description of a holiday
tradition that is unique to your area/state.
January = send to all classrooms a recipe that is unique to your state,
and the reason why you chose the recipe. You might add if any of your
kids have eaten it, if they liked it, or not!
February = send via snail mail 49 of the quilt blocks, keeping 1 for
yourself! This is a simple white muslin block 8 inches square, which
when sewn will be about 7 l/2 inches square. Use any washable medium,
such as fabric markers, fabric paints, puff paints, applique or even
quilting! Most blocks last year were fabric markers....
