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.

As shown in the photo at left, we began making pick-up truck stamp and paper clip dispensers in the 3rd and 4th grades as a economics project. Today each student worked on their own start to finish and next week we try division of labor and create an assembly line. The photo below shows the 1st and 2nd grade students with the friendship boxes they finished in today's woodshop. They will start on star shaped Christmas ornaments next week.
