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 Clear Spring School Woodshop, the 3rd and 4th graders, minus some absent classmates began their assembly line production of stamp/clip dispenser toy trucks. We will finish the trucks next week and hope that all the students will be present. the 1st and 2nd graders made star holiday ornaments, sawn by hand and hung from hand braided yarn hangers. It ws the first time for most of the students to try their hands at braiding. The photos above show the students at work and with stars ready for paint.
