The schools here are big on the kids learning how to embroider from an early age. Usually starting in 2nd grade the kids are given an embroidery assignment. Each year they learn a new technique of how to embroider. Some of the kids love these projects and others it is like pulling teeth to get them to do their assignment.

Well the 5th graders have had a good whole month at least to work on their embroidery projects. Of course none of them were finished . So this weekend they all worked hard to finish. The kids were all busy Friday night drawing their picture or what they were going to embroider on their cloth. Jose got up at 4am this morning to finish. He had it ironed and ready to go by 7:30 when we were out the door for school. 

Ana and Fernando started Friday with very little done but they got theirs done too. Fernando lost I think close to 5 needles through out the course of the month. Every time you asked Fernando to work on his he always said he didn't have a needle. So we gave him a new needle so he didn't have an excuse as not to work. Although we were sure to charge him too for every needle he lost.

 Ana proud of her work.
