After reading the story, Belle, The Last Mule at Gee's Bend by Calvin Ramsey we got our creative juices flowing and started a classroom quilt. During the Civil Rights Movement the people of Gee Bend made quilts by taking apart clothes and then using the entire piece of fabric to make something new. The people of the area made quilts. Our quilt is made from four colours, with all rectangles and students were challenged to use ALL the paper they were given just like the people of Gee Bend. Once we have all our pieces put together I will post a picture for you.
Parent/Student/Teacher interview schedule is open for you to book Thursday, March 10 and Friday, March 11. Looking forward to seeing you!
