Students in Leann Pfeifer's fifth grade class at Bruin Elementary School learned about the American Revolution and how to make a quilt during a recent lesson. Each student was assigned a letter of the alphabet and created a square for the quilt after researching some aspect of the Revolutionary War starting with that letter. Students were helped in their research by Kelley Terwilliger, the school's technology coordinator. Ethan Pakutz studied Nathaniel Green for his square and Alyssa Karenbauer studied John Paul Jones. Once the students finished their research, short paragraphs about their subjects were printed on iron-on paper and added to the quilt. A retired teacher did the backing to the quilt and the students knotted the intersections of the squares.
