Weaving

What do you do when you walk in the room and there are pegs and yard covering a large piece of foam core? You make your own weaving loom of course, or at least our interpretation of a loom.

As each student from Magnolia, Dogwood, and Pine wandered into the room they carried looks of confusion across their face. I sat back, poking and weaving, poking and weaving. How are you doing that Ms. Nicki? I want to try that too! Can you poke this for me, it's so hard. 

It was hard to push the pegs in, I could see by the way you all used two hands and scrunched up your face. You all kept trying until you were able to get the pegs where you wanted them.

I am using all my might!

Let's try this together, it's too hard for me. 

As you placed the pegs wherever you felt they were needed, the wheels of design started spinning. I am making a kite one friend announced. We are making a yarn maze, betcha can't get out! A pair of friends challenged us all. There were so many ideas, so many designs, and so much work being done. I wondered to myself how long you would stick with it? Sometimes a challenging task can be hard to stick with. So many of you sat on the carpet, poking and weaving for our entire caper time. 

It doesn't take much to create something beautiful. All we need is a little time, some serious effort, and a few creative brains. 

I am trying 3 at a time. It's so hard!
