We Are Basket Weaving!
Today Mrs. Penland came to our classroom to teach us how to weave baskets, a Cherokee tradition. We used honeysuckle reed & weaved our own baskets. We dipped the reed into water so it would bend and not break. It took a long time but was very fun! Native Americans made baskets to carry food, belongings, & even their babies. They made baskets in all sizes and shapes. Mrs. Penland was so patient with us & helped us make our master pieces. Each basket turned out unique, just like us! We wanted to thank Mrs. Richardson (Mrs. Blunt's intern) & Mrs. B (Beautiful Brianne's mom) for coming to help us during the basket weaving.
OUR FINISHED BASKETS!
Buddy is our classroom bear. He was given to Mrs. J as a Valentine present in 1993 by a very special student Ryan Humphrey. He started going home on weekends with her student's & began traveling the world. He has been to many exciting homes & places. He has met every child that Mrs. Jones has ever taught. He has been to birthday parties, class trips, trips to different states & countries, sat on the Great Wall of China, & met Micky Mouse! He is currently 15 years old. We will be documenting his trips below.
