This week, my students have to feature another student's blog in their post. So, in this post, I want to feature one student from each class that had such a great week of sewing...which is very hard to pick because everyone had a fantastic week.
1st period: My student Andrew accomplished so much this week! He finished his hoodie! Thursday during 1st period I was helping a student and someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and Andrew was standing there. He didn't say anything, he just stood there. I asked if he had a question and was very confused about why he wasn't saying anything. Then it hit me, he was wearing the hoodie that he had just finished! I exploded with excitement and so did other students in the class!!! I cannot express how much joy I felt when I realized what was going on. Here is what he had to say about it --> Super Epic Fashion Blog
Here is a picture of the hoodie!
You can see just how proud of Andrew I am and more pictures on my Instagram @OnFireForFACS and on my twitter @_Mrs_Hawk_2nd period: My student Jahred had a very up and down week. He has been sewing a fox backpack since the end of November and has gotten very frustrated because some of the instructions contradicted each other and the wording didn't always make sense. He started the week off so frustrated because he was having a hard time with the sewing machine and the instructions. I did my best to help him, but honestly, there were instructions that threw me for a loop. We were able to find another way to go about doing what we thought the instructions were asking us to do. Once he completed the backpack he was so excited. I felt like I had done my job as a teacher when I saw this posted in his blog "This is the most excited I have ever been about an assignment and I can't wait for it to be finished."

The final product of the fox backpack!
Stay tuned because I will be featuring more students as we continue on this journey of blogging. In the meantime, if you would like to see what all of my students are up to check out all of my student's blogs on the right-hand side of this blog!
