This is a picture of the basket that I am making in Indian Ed class at the elementary. We had about ten students working on this project yesterday with three adults. Today several of the students brought their baskets to show me. They are all further along, but I was helping untangle yarn and getting several of them over areas where they were stuck. (The materials for this project were also part of the Lowe's Grant that we received.) More students will be doing this project, we just introduced it to the older students who will then help us to teach the younger grades. Over a hundred students will learn this craft before we are done.

Just as a side note our Elementary school also received money specifically for writing and illustrating from Target. We had money for books on writing and children's books,  materials, and money towards publishing the children's books. There are resources out there and it is going to be really fun to see what the students are doing with them. The first batch of books will be available at the Florence Folk Festival in January. They are beautiful. Come meet the authors and get your signed copy. The students are really thrilled.
