Making Chicken T-Shirts


We are close to the end of our year, and I felt like we needed to acknowledge the work third graders did with the first chickens on the microfarm. I thought it would be fun to make a t-shirt to commemorate this moment at FSH. I asked children to submit drawings and some children volunteered to make t-shirt designs. I found a printer, a young woman,  Julia Policastro. She is a student at Tyler Art School. She came to my house and I showed her the students' designs.  Julia took the drawings, made a sample t-shirt on her computer, and then made a silk screen of the final design. Julia came to our school on Wednesday with all the materials. It was a hot morning, but we managed to be very productive! We helped Julia by holding the screen and preparing each shirt. The shirts came out great! It was a fun project and now we will all remember our role in FSH's microfarm.  I hope you enjoy the t-shirts!
