Students will meet Mrs. Terrell’s Shetland sheep and watch as she gathers wool to be used for the students’ projects. Students will learn how to card the wool, dye it, and spin it into yarn.  Mrs. Terrell will teach the students a variety of different weaving methods, and the students will create their own woven works of art. Students will learn the history of textiles and relate this knowledge to social studies, math, and science in this exceptional experience in arts integration.
