Stitches in Time
Nieman Enhanced Learning Center 4th graders worked on a project with Mrs. Healey called Stitches in Time. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring history, creativity and technology together. Students chose a famous woman in history and wrote her biography on computer, inserting a picture of her. Both internet and books where included in the bibliography. This was then printed onto muslin fabric which made the center of their quilt block. After studying the history and math of quilts students made their own original designs for the quilt border. They had to problem solve, using measurement and calculation in creating their borders. Below are some class pictures with a few examples of what the products looked like. The quilt blocks will be on display in different spots throughout the district from now until fall. Click on the picture to see a larger image.
