Educational Quilts

The quilt square is great for those who get overwhelmed at the thought of
writing a report or who don't like to write, or can't write well.

Measure one square 5x5, we use colored paper

Measure a smaller square 3.5x3.5 we use white.
Now turn the smaller square so you have a diamond shape and use a glue stick to
attache to the 5" square. So now you have colored "triangles" shown at each
corner.
*Actually we do the drawing on the white square before gluing

You can use this "quilt" square is so many different ways.

~Literature~
We have done (1) Character squares- draw a character of the story then in the
triangles we wrote descriptive words about the character.
You can do (2) setting, (3) one/more square per chapter. Then glue all the
chapter squares to a poster board.

~History~
(4)Historical characters, name, dates lived best known for, other info...
You could do this as a (5) timeline or for just a(6) certain period of history.
Example Middle Ages: Charles Martel, Charlemagne, King Alfred

~Bible~
(6) Bible people (7) Bible Stories, (8) Bible verses

~Science~
(9)flowers, (10)jungle animals (11)insects (12) desert animals (13) body systems
(14) trees

~Geography~
(15) draw county and/or flag write facts in the triangles (16) States

Those are just a few ideas to get you started with your own educational quilts.
Once you have all your squares done glue them to a poster board for a great
looking poster.
