More quilts

Jane and everyone,
Yesterday I talked with my two teammates about making the quilts. We really wanted all our students to participate, but with 70-some kids, the trick was how to do it. My partner who teaches science and social studies said she wants to do them through her 3 classes, so 3 quilts will come from my middle school. She's talking about tying this in with the 5 themes of geography. Just let me know to whom to send the additional 2 quilts.

Debbie, your quilt instructions and tips are great and will guide us through this. Also, "churning" butter with the heavy cream worked! I was so excited!! I'll be doing this all day this Saturday for a Girl Scout event.

Hot, hot, hot here in NC and drier than a bone. Our area is enacting water restrictions, and we're surrounded by various shades of brown as plants and crops wither.

Our students come on the 27th. We just finished the schedule pickup which is a scary time for the 6th graders and their parents. I'm "Iditaroding" now, too. Our team decided to call our list of materials that students bring to class "Mandatory Gear" and my "Materials on Desk" list on the white board now is titled "Gear on Desk". That list tells the kids what items to have on their desk that we're using that day in class. Our 6th grade will walk to Nome again this year for our Healthy Active Child activity.

Have a good school year.
