Wet felting with 7th grade.
Wowee, these kids are amazing and fun and loud and kooky and all the things you could imagine from a 7th grade. I decided to wet felt slippers with about 30 7th graders at the same time in a classroom with one tiny sink ... and it has been fun and a real learning experience...I have never done this before, so I am learning quite a bit. It has been fun, frustrating, soapy, stressful, loud, impressive, and more. I think they really have enjoyed it thus far, but at this point I think they are learning mindfulness and not rushing ahead as some are not turning out the way they should, but no fear...patches, needdle felting, sewing will fix all that in the end. Like we always tell them "If you can't fix it, feature it"!
