Family Partnerships: We’d like to invite a family member who knits or crochets to visit the class on Friday to help the children explore how cloth
is made. Also, our class will be conducting a clothing drive at the end of this study, so please collect clothing to donate. We would also like to ask a
few family members to help take the clothes to a donation site after the clothing drive, so let us know if you are interested.
Wow! Experiences: Tuesday—A visit from someone who sews
Friday—A visit from someone who knits or crochets
