This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Today in the woodshop, students were working to finish projects. Rachel finished her puppet and then started working on a cutting board for her grandmother. Dylan finished the handle for his shield and glued it in place. The front side has a design woodburned of an axe and sword. Most of the students are working on independent projects, but for those who aren't, we started making rope using a rather primitive rope making device. The photos are of Rachel's puppet and Dylan's shield.
