Ms. Calohan's Virtual Art classes are working on a weaving project. Virtual students have materials waiting (if you need them) outside of the front doors of Creekside. Virtual students were given cardboard last semester, and can use that as a loom. Blended students were given starting materials in class, but are welcome to bring their own yarn. Ideally, it would be easier for the students to have their own skeins of yarn to work with...but it's not mandatory. I've notified the students that I found some small bundles at the Supercenter for $1.77, if it's possible for you to pick up. If you would like to donate yarn, please put it in a ziploc bag, and deliver to the school (you can email me first).

The goal for late February, early March, is to start a clay project. The students from last year were just ready to start with ceramics just as school let out. Doing this virtually will be a challenge, but you'll see how interested your students are in completing the work! For virtual students, there might be more driving to the school to pick up and deliver the clay work. Blended students may also have a bit of homework to complete these two large assignments.
