This week, we read aloud The Goat in the Rug. In the story, Geraldine, the goat, tells how Glenmae, a Navajo weaver creates a rug.  First, Geraldine is clipped, and then her wool is spun into yarn.  Carefully, the yarn is dyed, dried, and woven on a loom to make a beautiful rug.  After reading, students sequenced the steps taken to make the rug.  Having already completed a weaving activity in art class, we  chose try out a new technique, making water color resist rugs.  Students viewed many examples of Navajo rugs, noting and their colors and geometric designs.  We began the crayon portion today and will complete the watercolor wash on Monday.  Students can also look forward to making and eat Fry bread and building 3-dimensional hogans.
