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, the 5th and 6th grade students finished their work on the toy cars which will be given to the local food bank for distribution, as shown in the photos at left and below. To make the most of our time, we divided tasks, some students designing cars, some cutting the shapes, some sanding and some assembling. I scrambled to keep the kids supplied with wood and axles. It was a fun project. On Friday, the 7th, 8th and 9th graders will join in the fun.
