State Pillows

This is the same letter that is being sent home tonight:

As a culmination to our study of the states of our country, each student will be researching one assigned state and creating a pillow with key information on it. The pillows will be displayed for a few days and then sent home the end of the year.

All of the work will be done at school unless a child wants to bring his/her pillow top home to work on it. The research and sewing will take place here.

Your child needs to bring in (1) piece of white fabric and (1) piece for the back both measuring 12X12 inches. The back can be any color, print, etc. For the white piece, an old pillowcase or piece of sheet will work fine if you don’t care to purchase material.

Please cut or help your child cut the material at home. Doing two pieces individually is quicker than us doing 30 at school. These pieces need to be brought to school by Monday, May 24.

I will provide the thread and stuffing for the inside of the pillows. The children will be doing their own sewing with an adult right beside them.

Thank you for your assistance. This is a fun and learning experience to end our study.
