Welcome

Thank you for visiting our site! This Blog is set up for the students and families of Southeast Elementary School in Howell, Michigan. It's purpose is to share the artistic achievements of the fifth grade classes here at Southeast Elementary.

In this blog, you will see that students have researched the traditional art of quilting, the history of West African textiles and the artists of Gee's Bend, Alabama, as well as, created their own quilt block inspired by the artistry of the quilters from Gee's Bend. The posts within this blog will tell you about what the students have learned and the creative processes used in making their quilt blocks. I encourage you to spend some time viewing the contents of this blog and ask you to comment on their postings.

Thank you, Mrs. Guetschow

How appropriate for a learning community at Southeast to learn about an artistic community in Gee's Bend. The student insights and artistry on this site are amazing, as is the dedication and passion of your teachers! You make me proud to be a Southeast Superstar!
