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 at the Clear Spring School wood shop, the 1st and second grade students started work on their triceratops, or three horned dinosaurs as shown. The top photo shows the process used to lay out the cut lines when preparing several blocks for classroom use. The second and third grade students finished their sand boxes by making tiny sand rakes. We also had a boat discussion and demonstration to prepare for next week's project, making sail boats.
