Our Bible Time Lesson was about wool spinners. And, no, we don't have raw wool sitting around, but we do have lots of fabric! Student began her yo-yo chain with lots of enthusiasm! She says she loves to hand-sew more than machine. Her chain will grow, and so will her ability. She says it takes much less time to make each yo-yo than she remembers from our attempt together.We are continuing working on our 50 States song. It is our goal to sing an audio for the blog asap!
Numbers, handwriting, and violin will complete this day of summer school. Happy sunshine to us.
Student's Yo-yo Directions:
First, you take a pencil, or if it is easier, a permanent marker. And then, you take a piece of fabric and trace a a jar lid, or something circle, with the marker onto the fabric. A book under the fabric helps. And then, you take scissors and cut the circle out. Then Teacher starts me off with a needle and knotted thread. Put the needle through the folded fabric down round the edge and stitch short, long, short, long, short, long. When you are all the way around, you tighten, or cinch the thread and poke needle through of yo-yo and knot on the back. That's it, that is how you make a yo-yo!
