Fiber art was introduced to Mrs. Schueler's fourth grade class. Students learned about the Native American legend of dream catchers. Then, they took wire hangers and formed them into circles. Using and a half pieces of yarn, they created a loom with 17 radii (it is important in this type of weaving to have an odd number of strings in the loom). They then wove pieces of fabric throughout it. To finish it, they created decorative fringe with beads and feathers.
