Felt Workshop
There was a huge stirring in PYP under the Third Graders! We had a Masterclass on our calendar with Ms. Nino Kurashvili! In our Unit: “How we express ourselves” we explored many avenues: sign language, braille, Codes, and of course, hobbies. The emphasis was on the power of having a hobby and how it benefits a child’s well-being. Ms. Nino entered our class with huge baskets full of these cotton candy-looking, colorful and soft felt. The felt was locally made by hand. Each student received a sponge to work on, a needle, and a square of felt. We were going to make brooches!! Colorful colors were handed out. Ms. Nino demonstrated the steps and each student started needling the colors onto the felt. Once a student was done, Ms. Nino added the pin with hot glue on the back! Our students proudly wore their own, hand-created brooch! What a fun and relaxing experience!
