Grade Level(s): K-2 1. Explain to your class that together they
are going to make a type of penny quilt. Each student will make
a square that will be a part of a class quilt. 2. Each student
will need to think of something that happened in their life that
was very important to them. They can brainstorm different ideas
together as a class. This would be a good homework assignment to
do with their family at home. 3. Once your students have decided
on their “significant event” they need to determine the year it
happened
