Back to the Classroom
#11
I have to go back tomorrow. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and did get a lot of things accomplished, even though a couple of days I did nothing but read and relax. My husbnd told me I deserved those days I did nothing, even when we had to order out dinner. He's so sweet.

BUT now our winter break from school is over and I will be heading back to the classroom on Tuesday. I am a 4th grade teacher and have to return to my wonderful children who I truly miss. Hopefully I will find time to stop by and visit with all of you. Most of all I hope I get a chance to begin some of my quilting projects soon!!! Everyone here from the beginner to the veteran quilter has been a true inspiration.

You might want to share your love of quilting with your students for arts and crafts. My students always enjoyed sewing, especially when I convinced the principal that a sewing machine was a must as a part of my curriculum. I used the sewing lessons to help them make things that enriched their geography and social studies lessons. Their parents were happy that I was teaching them something so useful that was beyond the regular classes.
