• Students may bring in material that has a memory that is triggered by that piece of
material.
4. Teaching:
A. Plan for reading the book:
• Before I read Papa and the Pioneer Quilt to the class, I will ask students, “What do your
parents do with old clothing or rags? Do they throw them away? Pioneers used old
clothing and tattered rags to make quilts. These quilts were significant because each piece
of clothing or cloth holds a significant memory.
• I will then tell students, that we are going to make our own class quilt! Each student will
have a square that represents an important time in their life or a specific and meaningful
memory. Once we have all completed our squares, we will put them together (with tape)

to make a beautiful and unique classroom quilt.


B. Plan for extension activity:
• I will show students my quilt piece and explain why I chose the material, design, colors,
or illustrations to portray a special time in my life or a specific meaningful memory.
• I will hand out blank quilt squares and allow students to get out their materials (if they
brought any from home) and begin working on their square.
• If children finish early, they will write in their writer’s notebook explaining the
significance of their quilt piece.
• After each student has finished, they will give their quilt squares to me and I will put the
squares together that evening.
5. Closure:
• I will ask students, “Would anyone like to share their quilt square? If you would like to
share, then explain what you used on your square and why that is significant.”
• Students that would like to share will need to get their quilt square back from me and
make themselves visible so the whole class can view their quilt piece.
