The Goat in the Rug

In learning about the Navajo of the southwest region, we read The Goat in the Rug.  Geraldine, the goat, tells the story of how Glenmae, a Navajo weaver created a rug.  First, Geraldine is clipped, and then her wool is spun into yarn.  Carefully, the yarn is woven on a loom to make a beautiful rug.  Students enjoyed making their very own placemat weavings using colors significant to the Navajo tribe.
