What's happening in Mrs. Medina's 6th grade Art class? "Their most recent project has been a sewing unit. They have learned to sew on a button and are currently working on sewing a pillow together. The Flea Market blessed us with needles, thread, fabric, and polymer stuffing for the pillows. Our next focus in the unit will be embroidery, specifically, embroidering an initial onto a piece of fabric. Several students have no experience with needles or sewing and they have truly stepped up and succeeded. Those who have experience have been so helpful to the other students," said Mrs. Emily Medina, K-6 Art Teacher. Way to go, 6th grade!
