Sewing Poppies for Remembrance Day

What a busy November it has been!  When I came online this afternoon to write a post, I found that I have not blogged since the beginning of November, and this week will see the end of the month fly by.

We are getting ready for the busy holiday season, and Mrs. Proud and I have some really fun things planned for our students.

However, before we delve into all things winter and holiday season, we wanted to share some photos of our students sewing their poppies.

For those of you who do not know, the children in our class enthusiastically created their own poppies for Remembrance Day this year.  From tracing the shapes onto fabric, to cutting, to sewing on the button, your children became sewing rockstars.

Today we sent home a note asking for each child to bring in a plain, white sock for a new craft we will be doing in December.  This craft will also include sewing, since our students were so enthusiastic about the process of making poppies.  Sewing is going to become a more regular activity in our classroom.  We will even be teaching the children how to thread needles!
