Sewing

My love of Matryoshka dolls has trickled down to third grade.  These little guys learned how to sew their very own doll.  I don't think I have ever had such an enthusiastic class.  Sewing was really a challenge for them; we had plenty of pricked fingers, but everyone finished their doll and the students  were obsessed!  Several have already told me they asked their parents for sewing kits.  The best way to engage a student is to really challenge them and sewing was the proof!!
