Craft for the Week: Quilt Square

Once a month, we will be decorating a 12 inch quilt square to reflect something we are currently learning about. At the end of the school year, I will turn all of our squares into a keepsake quilt.

Poem of the Month for October:

Harvest

Now all the farmers from far and wide

Have gathered their bounty of countryside:

Corn and barley from field and wold,

Honey from beehive and wool from the fold,

Fruit from the orchard all ripe, red and gold,

Log for the fire to keep out the cold.
