Second Grade Story Quilt

The Second graders are currently working on a class quilt. Each child is hand sewing a picture using embroidery and applique techniques. Students used a pattern square to cut out their background fabric, and had to use their measuring skills to cut strips for a border. Each square tells a little part of the collaborative, oral story they improvised in class. Their story is about a dragon who loved to eat bacon. Actually he couldn’t get enough of it! The story took our friendly, bacon eating, dragon on a journey over the ocean, through forests and caves. During which, he passed snapping sharks, a swift pterodactyl, and a pesky monkey, all trying to get his bacon!
