Mat Man and the Quilt Drawing


The students loved learning our Mat Man song last week!  We use our Handwriting Without Tears "lines and curves" to build a man while singing a fun and catchy song.  Get your child to sing it at home!  It really helps them, when drawing a person, to remember the parts of the body that Mat Man has. Hope you will enjoy these pictures!







Our quilt raffle drawing was on Friday.   Mrs. Jones came into the classroom that afternoon with our box and it was FILLED with tickets!!!  Thank you to all who bought tickets!  I sure wish everyone could have won our class quilt.  Mrs. Jones drew Julia's name out and boy was she excited to get to bring it back home! :)  I want to thank Julia's family and grandmothers again for dedicating so much time and talent to our quilt this year!  Congratulations Julia!!!

Q is for Quilt

 I am so pleased to get to show you our wonderful class quilt!  It is so darling.....these pictures don't even do it justice! I want to thank Julia's parents and grandmother for working so hard on this quilt.  We gave them the painted squares and some fabric and they completely transformed it into this masterpiece.  In fact when our art teacher, Sue Skillman, saw our quilt she was very impressed that it was truly "quilted!"  They did a fabulous job and you just have to see it in person.  All of the quilts are hanging in the activities building now and I invite you to stop by to take a look!
There is a raffle ticket sale going on now for the quilt.  You may sign up on Sign Up Genius to order tickets for the drawing.
