3rd grade just completed a 2 month long unit on African Kente cloth. Students first made paper Kente weavings (posted earlier) then they moved on to weaving with a loom and yarn. Finally students made a silhouette painting using Kente cloth paper prints as clothing for their figures.
All the looms layed out side by side
Once the weaving was complete we added a sting to turn it into a neckless.
