This is a great workshop for teachers planning a school visit
to the newly renovated Quilt & Textile Museum! Come away with
unique and creative ideas for implementing a standards-based thematic
unit in your classroom. Take a guided tour of the museum and learn
to “quilt across the curriculum” with quilt-themed
lesson plans in math, language arts, social studies, science,
and family consumer science that you can take back to your classroom!
Developed with the help of Warwick School District teachers Marcia
Brenner and Petey Jones, all lesson plans align to PDE curriculum
standards.
