Sewing in Ag class

(3/9): Sewing? In Agriculture? Yes! Agriculture is a very large area that involves so much, such as growing row crops, raising animals, using textiles from row crops to create clothing, various engineering areas, beekeeping, growing and caring for orchards, flowers, trees, and forestry, ag designing and advertising, and so much more. That being said, students in Mrs. Whitworth and Mrs. Swain's 6th grade Agriculture classes learned how to hand sew. They made BooBoo Bags which are little bags with rice inside to put in the freezer to apply on cuts and bruises. They also made drawstring bags and heart pillows. They had so much fun; well, maybe a couple of guys didn't enjoy it a whole lot, but since we had a lesson on replacing buttons, they have learned an important skill.
