For those of you that have been following along with our weekly economics lessons, this was our book of choice this week. I absolutely love it! Geraldine (the goat) tells how her fur was transformed into a rug by her friend Glen Mae.
Our lesson this week was on PRODUCTION, and we did a little rug production of our own. We used construction paper to weave a paper rug. Each child was given a large piece of red paper, colored paper strips of their choice, a glue stick, and a pair of scissors. I demonstrated the "over, under" technique of weaving and then students began on their own creations.
Then we used scissors along the edges to cut rug "fringe."
