Finished Weavings

I always love it when the second graders finish their weavings. They have such a sense of pride about their work and they are so happy to show their parents. This class really knocked it out of the park. I am so proud of them and I hope their parents love the work just as much as I do.

Weaving Update 2nd Grade

We are almost finish with the school year and my second graders have been weaving their little hearts out. Here is how the 4th nine weeks weaving is going.

Little weaving

One of the wonder art teachers let me hold her little figurine of a little women weaving. She gave it to me to show the 2nd graders because they are weaving. They were so excited to see it. I think that made the weaving experience even better.

Projects Overload 2nd Grade

The month of February has been busy for me. I have had something event wise, to do almost every weekend and thing to go to through out the week. So here is an update on the projects

 So the 2nd Graders are weaving! Yea! This worked well with them last year so I decided to do it again this year. I changed the projects to give them more structure in the process.

 So we start off with two paper weavings before we break out the Loom and yarn.

We use some ancient Mexican Motifs for the design. I was going for the patterned design. It was a hit and miss some students got it and some others not so much. My main goal was to make sure the understood the weaving process and how to do it on their own.

Weaving Warm and Cool Colors

So this project I am very excited about, It is a short weaving project. It's the last one we will do this nine weeks. ! Last year my second graders did a nine week long project on weaving and they loved it and they produced some amazing paper weaving and fabrics. So this year I want to keep the weaving going and they are going to weave together (paper weaving) two papers that they painted using warm and cool colors. They are excited about it also.  I saw the project on ART SMUDGE and thought it would be great for our students. I will keep you posted.

 These are last year's second grade weaving projects. My now 3rd graders.
