Lowell mills field trip

Today, 4A and 4G visited the mills in Lowell. It was a fantastic day packed with history and hands-on weaving. Both classes had a chance to work on their own weaving using a hand loom. Pictures are below. Most of the photos are of weavings, however there are a few others of the looms used in the mills over 100 years ago.

5L working hard on their text/shape project.
Students chose an object that was recognizable from its outline. Once drawn on tag board, it's used as a tracer to make a very light outline. The students then fill in the shape using various types of text to create the object.
