Upper Elementary I students each learned to sew a traditional "yo-yo" piece. Over time they worked on them independently and created over 50 yo-yos to include in the class project. Recently the students viewed multiple quilts and design concepts before collaborating together to come to a final design plan. They chose the positioning of the pieces to reflect the waves in our oceans and the hills on our land. They asked for the border to highlight the words "courage, love, and kindness" and the background fabric chosen has many positive messages communicated in ASL, such as "you got this" and "it's all good".
