Final Project
A sad part of having to leave is the junior youth groups coming to an end. I will especially miss my Monday night group with the girls. They have made such incredible progress in their reading and writing and in their contributions to discussions. As their final project, we worked to create a paper "quilt" with each piece of the quilt containing a part of the story in the book we were studying (Breezes of Confirmation) that demonstrated virtues.
Each girl wrote a part of the story and indentified the virtue demonstrated.
Then all the pieces were tied together with string and the girls were very proud of their work. The quilt now hangs proudly in the living room of their house.
Tonight they will present a play they created based on a part of the story and will receive certificates for virtues they themselves demonstrated during the study of the book. Following this will be "girl time" during which I am apparently getting my hair braided. (Pictures to follow)

Hey Miq! This looks great! I'm so glad you used this idea. When we did this at a school I worked in, the quilt hung proudly in the hall for several months, before the children would consent to letting it be taken down. I hope your students enjoyed themselves, and that the activity helped to consolidate their understanding on the content. You seem to be a natural teacher.
love
Auntie Pat
p.s. have been praying every day for the children in your classes.
