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 continued work on dinosaurs today, sanding parts and drilling holes for teeth as shown in the photos above and at left. Wood shop is always a great social time and the students were all particularly happy today, singing and humming as they worked. The 3rd and 4th grades students finished their ocean life mobile which you may remember they started last week using coping saws to cut out the shapes of the sea animals they had designed. Late last week, they were painted, and today we found the balance point of each and arranged them to hang in balance. We take photos at the end of each project and the students particularly like posing for silly pictures like the one above.
