  • Student of the Week: Ezekiel
    Smith’s Scoop October 28, 2019 *Wear all black (or close to black) for our big Word Detective Celebration on Friday, November 1st! *Tuesday, October 29th is the fiftieth day of school, so first grade will dress up like the 1950’s. Please look for the Sign-Up Genius to volunteer to help make the children root- beer floats from 12:30 – 1:40. If you want to have your child be all-in and get completely dressed up, go for it! Girls - Poodle skirts, dresses, traditional sweater, fake pearls, bobby socks, pony tails, etc. Boys – rolled up jeans and t-shirts, rolled up kakis, dress shirt, traditional sweater or V-neck pull over, team jacket, jean jacket, bomber jacket, slicked-back hair, etc. Please just have fun. If your child is shy, make sure they wear jeans and I will roll them up! We will have root-beer floats and chew bubble gum. This covers some of our social studies standards of comparing the past to present. We will be seeing how people dressed, how TV shows like Andy Griffith were in black & white, we will listen and dance to 1950’s songs, and read children books from the 1950’s. ! We will have writing assignments and math centers from the 1950’s. I hope that you enjoy the process of building a Veteran’s Day mini-float with your child. You may decide to just let your child do it with household items like shoe or cereal boxes. You may want to help and even get a few special things for the float.

  • Embellished Jean Jacket”
    “Embellished Jean Jacket” Turn a plain denim blazer into a fashion statement by using your Baby Lock Embellisher to enhance the pocket flaps and collar lapels. This quick and easy project will add so much to your outfit and can be accomplished in an evening or an afternoon. Once you see how simple it is to take something plain and make it into something special, you will want to do more! Created by: Margo Duke of Her Majesty Margo Margo Duke of Her Majesty Margo has always had a penchant for working with color and fine materials of all kinds. The love of wool is also in her genes as her Mother’s family originated in Stornoway, an island of the North coast of Scotland. Her family was very involved in all steps of creating Harris Tweed, from raising the sheep through the actual weaving. One of her Mother’s cousins was instrumental in traveling to London and making the case for having the name “Harris Tweed” stamped on every yard, which is still done today. It wasn’t until Margo fell in love with the Baby Lock Embellisher that it all came together and she began insatiably experimenting with the things she loves most. The first moment she saw a demonstration at her local Baby Lock dealer, she understood the possibilities and could hardly wait until her machine arrived. It hasn’t ceased to provide endless hours of pleasure in the years since. Baby Lock Project: Ribbon-Accent Towels Page 1 of 4 Supplies: • Baby Lock Embellisher • Water soluble fabric stabilizer • Base – very fine material such as chiffon for a stabilizer (this does not have to be silk); strips of 2” silk/rayon velvet length of each component to be covered plus 2” to EACH piece • Coordinating fiber such as wool and/or silk • Small snippets of yarns/ribbon/silk hankie (optional) in chosen color Instructions: 1.
