Level: Form II (4th–6th grades), Form III (7th–9th grades), Form IV (10th–12th grades)
Subject(s): Handicrafts, Panorama
Description:
Both beautiful and useful, handicrafts allow students of all ages to develop skills while improving habits of attention, orderliness, and tenacity. Mrs. Estes will help students experiment and develop skills with several different handicrafts over each semester. Previous handicrafts have included weaving reeds, corn husks, and fabric, paper crafts such as quilling, hand sewing, leather and wood crafts, kite making, and more.
The instructor works with each student to personalize projects at the student’s level of ability and experience. By the end of the semester, students will have created both decorative and practical items including an item for charitable donation and/or gift-giving.
This class meets every other week for Forms 2-4, with Form 2 alternating with Math Club, and Forms 3-4 alternating with Nature Journaling.
Materials:
Most tools and supplies are provided in the class, but students may need to bring a hammer for some projects.
