This week- Finish your magazine pop-up book by Thursday. It must have a background, middle ground and foreground. Each component is worth 10 points. 

Then experiment with your materials to create your planned pop-up. Remember, at least 75% must be created by hand. This must also have a background, middle ground and foreground. It should also be neat and be able to pop-up. 

Monday is the last day in class to work on the quilt squares. They are due by Friday. Come in during lunch or after school on Tuesday and Thursday to finish. 

Those who are down with their quilts can make a puzurs (straw ornament). For this you will need 12 pieces of straws exactly the same size.  

Complete notes for necktie construction. 

Tuesday we will begin creating neckties, by first responding to a series of questions.

Meet at door M at the start of 2nd period with your purse, but leave your book bags in your locker. Bring money for lunch. 

The GOAL of our field trip is to learn more about the store and for you to select fabrics to design/create an outfit. Each of you will have a budget of $25- that means you can buy $27.50 worth of materials. I will give you a worksheet to fill out for each of your fabrics. Please refer to the following link for estimating yardage for garments.
