Pillows

This is the letter that is being sent home tonight too. If someone can help volunteer to sew that would be awesome as I don't know sew! We will pick out our states tomorrow (Thursday).


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.

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 50 at school. These pieces need to be brought to school by Tuesday, May 22.

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. If anyone knows how to sew, would be available and willing to come to our classroom May 24 or 25 and help the children sew, I would be elated!
