The Names Project and what we
are doing combine together. Show

last time they remember to bring
their portion of the Quilt.
Teachers Notes for Next Lesson (Is there anything you should remember to do before starting the next
lesson?)
Be sure that there are extra work sheets available for any student who may have missed class or had lost it
before getting it to their parents. Be sure that the power point is ready to go before class and prepared to be
shown and talked about. There are materials that are needed the individual stories and pictures from the
Names Project that we will be using in class. Be sure that those are ready before the class arrives.
