Grade 1 - Family Coat of Arms Designers - 2021

The 1st grade class did an amazing job of using their creativity to share family history and stories in their coat of arms pillow designs. The students spent time with their families discussing cultures, faith, and interests. With sketches in hand, the 1st graders came into the Studio ready to complete their final drawings on fabric. Each student got to sew their pillow; they operated the sewing machine pedal, added stuffing, and created a designer tag. The students should be proud of their hard work! This type of project, which integrates social studies and language arts, helps students experience storytelling through an ancient graphic art form.
