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.

The first and second grade students began making their T-rex models today. They had a long list of other favorite dinosaurs they also want to make, so some will be made back in their classroom from the scraps left over from other wood shop projects. A total of 4 different dinosaur species will be made in wood shop. Each dinosaur takes two 1 hour class sessions to complete so we only made the first 4 cuts today. The photo shows 2nd grader Noah at work with the T-rex prototype in the foreground.
