Students in Mrs. Ayers’ FACS class at SHMS recently partnered with the first-grade team at SHES for a creative collaboration that brought imagination to life.
After reading a story, SHES first graders designed and colored their own “critters.” Those drawings were then shared with SHMS students, who used felt and sewing skills to turn each design into a handmade plush.
The best part? Delivering the finished critters to the first graders and watching their excitement as their drawings came to life.
We love seeing our classrooms collaborate and build meaningful connections across schools.
